Melbourne's mid-season resurgence has continued with the Storm coming out on top against Canberra in a try-scoring frenzy that included a hat-trick from winger Will Warbrick.
This year's club record seven-game losing streak appears to be in the rear view mirror for Melbourne with the 42-20 victory, but the Raiders' hopes of making the NRL finals are fading badly after their 10th defeat.
Both teams scored four tries in the first half of their Sunday afternoon clash to be locked at 20-20 at halftime.
The Raiders got off to the best possible start and took a 16-0 lead after 16 minutes with Savelio Tamale, Owen Pattie and Xavier Savage all crossing.
Winger Savage couldn't be caught as he raced downfield after intercepting a pass from Melbourne's Jack Howarth 10 metres from the tryline.
