THE PREDICTION
Melbourne Storm fell short in their clash with Parramatta Eels last week with that result ensuring they missed out on a spot in the top four so they will have to be perfect in their quest to make the Grand Final. The Storm come into this having lost their last two games but a return to home soil could well prove to be important for them, especially as halfback Jahrome Hughes will be back in the side after missing out through injury last week. They take on Canberra Raiders with the loser seeing their season come to an end and the visitors will be full of confidence. They have won their last four after hammering Wests Tigers last time out while they have lost just one of their last eight. The Raiders also edged the last matchup between the two teams but that was their only success in their past six meetings against the Storm so the hosts are favoured to prevail in this one.
