FULL TIME: The Canberra Raiders defeat the Melbourne Storm 20-18 …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a nail-biting clash, the Canberra Raiders edged out the Melbourne Storm 20-18 in a thriller that went down to the wire. The Green Machine showed grit and determination to claim a valuable win, with standout performances from Jordan Rapana and Jamal Fogarty guiding the way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Raiders got off to a strong start, capitalising on Storm errors to build an early lead. Melbourne fought back with tries from Harry Grant and Nick Meaney, but Canberra\u2019s defensive resilience held firm under late pressure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fogarty\u2019s kicking game proved decisive, while Joseph Tapine laid the platform up front with a massive shift in the middle. The Storm, missing a few key names, couldn\u2019t quite find the polish when it mattered most.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This win could be a turning point for the Raiders’ season, showing they can match it with the NRL’s elite. For Melbourne, it\u2019s back to the drawing board after another close loss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tries:<\/p>\n

Raiders \u2013 Rapana, Kris, Cotric<\/p>\n

Storm \u2013 Grant, Meaney, Ieremia<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Player of the Match: Jamal Fogarty<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next up: Raiders face the Roosters, while the Storm take on the Broncos.<\/p>\n\n
