Melbourne secured a top-two position after defeating Canterbury 20-14 in a tense NRL match.
Melbourne have locked down a top-two ladder position with two rounds to play after holding out Canterbury in their blockbuster NRL showdown.
Following a golden-point victory by Canberra over Penrith earlier on Friday night that put the Raiders in prime position to claim the minor premiership, the Storm were forced to work hard for a 20-14 win over a much-improved Bulldogs outfit.
The match also almost went to golden point when Canterbury looked to have scored with just over a minute remaining off a Matt Burton bomb, which would have locked up the match with a successful conversion.
