An aerial assault from winger Will Warbrick has seen Melbourne Storm overturn a heavy 16-point deficit to beat Canberra Raiders 42-20 in Cameron Munster's 250th game at AAMI Park on Sunday.

Warbrick owned the skies, a constant threat under halfback Jahrome Hughes's high balls with two of his stunning hat-trick of tries coming through high leaps on the back of powerful runs.

A fifth win in six games has the Storm in striking distance of the top eight, while the Raiders are edging closer to the cliff after a devastating loss.

The game turned on its head in the 20th minute when Storm captain Harry Grant entered the arena.

Backing up from Origin mid-week, the Queensland hooker's minutes were limited to reduce his heavy workload, but his injection into the game had a profound impact.
