The 27-year-old tries his guts out every week, darting and scheming, kicking long and short to try and get Melbourne on the front foot, so the Raiders need to be on high alert to try and negate his influence.

Still, back at home, look for Melbourne to get a few quick-fire tries on the board early and not look back. As for the Raiders, the key to winning this week's game will be up front. My tip: It is hard to see Melbourne dropping three in a row. With Munster back in the frame too there will only be more for the Canberra defence to deal with, which should free up more space for Papenhuyzen scheming out the back, waiting for his chance to pounce. Who to watch: Ryan Papenhuyzen failed to take flight last week against the Sharks, clearly still hampered by injury as the Storm were thoroughly outclassed. They have the forward pack capable of taking it to Melbourne and it all starts with Queensland prop Josh Papalii. The 30-year-old is a tone-setter, the type to lead from the front early and lift his teammates with his actions. But then again, it was hard to see the Storm losing two-straight and they did just that. There's some things there that we need to improve on but I just think our effort areas tonight were a lot better than last week." Ryan Sutton 14. Jordan Grant 19. "With all due respect, their footy in that first half was pretty off the charts. Harry Grant 10.

The Raiders have handed Melbourne their third straight defeat with a hard-fought 20-16 victory at AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon.
It was a great performance by James (Schiller), he’s a young bloke and that try he scored in the second-half, the grubber kick, that was a very good try. Whether it was try of the year or not, I’m not too sure, but it was very handy for us." I thought that we created a lot of opportunities so that was a huge improvement on the last couple of weeks, but we just couldn’t finish a few of them off. The superb solo try was not only the flying finisher's second try of the match, but second of his NRL career. "That was a really great game of football and either teams could have won. To get beat by four is really disappointing when you see in the context of the game how many chances we had.
