Round 17 preview: Storm v Raiders
Saturday football for round 17 of the NRL Premiership wraps up in Melbourne with the battling Canberra Raiders travelling to take on the Storm at AAMI Park.
The Raiders have lost three of their last five matches and dropped to 10th on the NRL ladder. A win is needed here if they are to stay within reach of the top eight.
Meanwhile, the Storm have won four of their last five games, beating the Eels, Knights, Warriors and Dolphins. Competition is expected to be tougher against the Raiders, but Melbourne will be set on securing their position at the top of the ladder.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has been forced to make one change, replacing Nick Cotric (ankle) with Albert Hopoate on the wing. Tom Starling returns to the starting side as hooker, pushing Danny Levi back to the bench and Zac Woolford to the reserves, while Jordan Martin has been named on the interchange to make his NRL debut.
Craig Bellamy has also made one forced change to his Storm line-up, with Jack Howarth starting in the centres in place of Nick Meaney (calf). Harry Grant and Xavier Coates have been named to back-up from State of Origin, shifting Bronson Garlick back to the bench.
There is speculation that Ryan Papenhuyzen will miss the match with a foot injury, in which case Sualauvi Faalogo will be expected to step up from the reserves.

Melbourne Storm v Canberra Raiders betting predictions
Melbourne have won three of their last five clashes with Canberra — including their last match at this ground, where the Storm have won 15 of their last 16 games. The league leaders still have room for improvement and will be expected to belt a struggling Raiders outfit by 13 or more points at -136.99 with top NRL bookmakers.
Storm utility Tyran Wishart has been in incredible form since filling the hole left by superstar Cameron Munster at five-eighth. Having scored three tries in four starts at the position, he is good value to add to that tally at +185 with Neds.
The Storm have been scoring for fun over the last six weeks, with all of those games going over the total points line. With Coates, Wishart, Jahrome Hughes and Eliesa Katoa in the side, expect 50 or more points to be scored in this match (-117.65).
