Melbourne have landed a big blow in the race for the top four, smashing Canberra 48-2 in an NRL mauling at AAMI Park.
Effectively ending the Raiders' hopes of a double chance come finals, the Storm took their opponents apart with nine unanswered tries - all for different scorers.
The thrashing could have even more dire consequences for the Raiders who are just a game inside the top eight with their woeful point differential weighing them down further.
