Melbourne's Ryan Papenhuyzen was back to his best with the flying mullet terrorising Canterbury in a thumping 44-0 NRL victory.
Superstar fullback Papenhuyzen scored four tries, with his six conversions making for a personal haul of 28 points - his highest ever at AAMI Park - on Sunday afternoon.
But he wasn't alone with the Storm running in eight unanswered tries in a commanding display.
Three came within 10 minutes when Papenhuyzen grabbed his third in the 51st minute after he finished a length of the field break by Jahrome Hughes, who scooped up Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton's grubber on the last tackle.
Melbourne winger Xavier Coates repeated the feat, dashing 90 metres, when an errant Burton pass bumped off the shoulder of Jake Averillo.
And then two minutes later, second rower Felise Kaufusi got in on the try-scoring action.
The Bulldogs boasted the second-best defensive record leading into the round, only conceding 33 points in four rounds, but the Storm blew past that midway through the second half.
Of equal concern for the visitors was their inability to get across the tryline themselves.
They had 61 per cent of possession in the first half and at had three sets of six in the opening 20 minutes camped on Melbourne's line but never really looked like scoring.
Former Storm flyer Josh Addo-Carr, now lining up for the Bulldogs, came closest but Papenhuyzen and Hughes stopped him from grounding the ball.
