Josh King's try puts Storm up 6-0 at halftime against Raiders after strong defensive effort.
A lone try to prop Josh King in the 37th minute gave the Storm a 6-0 lead at halftime after the Raiders withstood an onslaught from the home team.
Just a week after conceding eight tries in a 48-24 loss to Wests Tigers, the Raiders spent much of the first half defending their line under relentless pressure from the Storm but stood firm until King crashed over just before the interval.
Melbourne had 60 per cent possession in the first half as the Raiders conceded nine errors, three penalties and five six-again calls but their defence held up in a pleasing sign for Canberra coach Ricky Stuart.
