‘We can’t keep losing’: Ominous Melbourne Storm see off sorry Canberra Raiders in Wagga Wagga
Melbourne has comfortably beaten an error-strewn Canberra, 30-16, in Wagga Wagga, thanks to a classy performance from Harry Grant.
Jahrome Hughes scored twice as the Storm offered far too much for Canberra, who only had themselves to blame, with early penalties and ruck infringements along with handling errors haunting them as they suffered their third loss of 2022.
The Storm (4-1) looked superior in every aspect but their classy spine led the way, with superstars Grant, Hughes and Ryan Papenhuyzen scoring the first three tries of Saturday’s game.
“[It’s been a] really positive start [to the season],” Grant told Fox Sports after the game.
“You always want to start well and we’re doing that.
Canberra looked intent on a sharp start and even led 2-0 early after a Brad Schneider penalty, but ball security and discipline issues quickly plagued them as the Storm took over.
“We can’t keep losing,” Elliott Whitehead told ABC Grandstand.
“It’s gunna come together, but hopefully quicker rather than later.”
Grant continued his hot form by bursting out of dummy-half and trampling Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad to score for a 6-2 lead after 15 minutes.
The Storm began to terrorise the Raiders’ line and benefited from repeat sets, Hughes slicing through for a try before a Munster line break allowed Papenhuyzen to score his seventh try of the season, bringing his team to 18-2.
Semi Valemei finally got the Raiders first try by trucking through Papenhuyzen and diving for the line, his side left trailing 18-8 at half-time.
That fightback led to a typical Craig Bellamy spray at the break, which spurred the Storm back into action when centre Justin Olam broke through the Canberra line early in the second half to score.
Neither team would score again until the 72nd minute, when a sharp Nicoll-Klokstad pass found Nick Cotric to go over in the corner.
But playmaker Hughes snuffed any hope of a comeback with an outrageous 30m try, dancing around defenders and breaking multiple tackles to score under the sticks.
Grant impressed with a try, try assist, seven tackle breaks and 75 dummy-half run metres, with Cameron Munster also on fire with two try assists and more than 150 run metres.
The Raiders conceded three penalties in the game’s first eight minutes, while errors continued to haunt them, with 14 for the game.
They now lead the league in most errors made across the first five games.
Canberra centre Matt Timoko left the game early with a leg injury.
