STORM
Preview
In a rematch of last year's preliminary final, the Raiders will look for revenge when they host the Storm on Saturday in Canberra.
Melbourne triumphed 14-12 and moved on to the grand final last season after holding off the Raiders, although the two sides haven't both stayed the same path in 2017.
While the Storm is first and flying high, the Raiders are battling to even play finals, and currently, sit in 10th position and are two games outside the eight.
Canberra will be without Josh Papalii this weekend through suspension, and the second-rower has been replaced by Joseph Tapine.
Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Munster, Cameron Smith, Will Chambers and Tim Glasby have also returned from Origin duty in a very strong line-up for the Storm.
With Melbourne's stars returning, look for Craig Bellamy's men to get back in the winner's circle.
Storm by 10.
