Melbourne Storm notch huge 68-4 win over Canberra Raiders in NRL round 21 The Melbourne Storm have equalled their biggest ever win, giving Canberra a 68-4 hiding, the Raiders' first home loss of the year. STILL reckon this competition is down to two teams? Let's confess, we all thought the Storm's chances of going back-to-back were zip going into Sunday's game. The reigning premiers had lost four of their past five and post-Origin they looked drained. Old. Then they ran out against the Raiders, a side that hadn't lost at home all year - and flogged them like the Raiders have never been flogged before. Melbourne Storm winger Mahe Fonua produced an amazing assist to set up Will Chambers against Canberra. The improvised effort has drawn comparisons with Greg Inglis' assist for Mark Gasnier in 2008. It ended up 68-4, the biggest loss in Canberra's history. If Cameron Smith had landed a late field goal it would have been the Storm's biggest win. Are the Storm back? As Smith said: "I think that is probably the most clinical match we have played all season." Melbourne Storm face a nervous wait after Centre Maurice Blair was carried off after coming down heavily on his neck. Smith was almost in disbelief himself. Then we asked him about next Friday night - and taking on the Rabbitohs in Melbourne. Are you looking forward to that? "Oh, not playing in the middle I'm not," he laughed. They've got some big boys. I might ask if I can play halfback again. But you get the feeling the Burgess brothers don't really bother Cam Smith. Nothing ever seems to bother this bloke. Mahe Magic! Watch the video of Fonua's freak try assist above Storm players congratulate Kevin Proctor on his try. While Souths go into Friday night's game coming off Saturday night's 30-12 thumping by North Queensland, the Storm are primed, Smith said, even pumped. I'm really looking forward to it. These are the matches you should be looking forward to. They are equal first at the moment with the Roosters. They have been the best side all year. They have some injury concerns but they are a quality side. They are going to be up for a big match. Last year the Storm dropped five games in a row after Origin when Billy Slater was out injured. Maurice Blair down injured. But the similarities to where they are today are striking. While they came back from Origin looking tired, on Sunday they looked invincible. Some of the stats to come out of the game are worth looking at. The possession split was 58-42 per cent in the Storm's favour and they completed 38 of 41 sets. That's phenomenal. Mahe Fonua (left) of the Storm is congratulated by Cameron Smith. Smith was brilliant, Cooper Cronk was man of the match, Billy Slater scored two tries. And what about the freakish performance of home-grown winger Mahe Fonua? Fonua scored three tries but it was the one he set up for Will Chambers that will make the highlights reel (video above), bringing back memories of Greg Inglis's effort in the Centenary Test. Ryan Hoffman put through a grubber kick Canberra's fullback Anthony Milford pronounced dead - but from nowhere Fonua came flying and in mid-air reefed the ball back infield for Chambers to touch down. It was that kind of day for Melbourne. And you want to know what's even more frightening? "As big as Origin was this year I don't think it was physically taxing, probably more mentally taxing this year," Smith said. Physically I feel really good, I feel fresh. I think that performance comes on the back of having our entire squad together for the first time in seven or eight weeks. That is the first full week I have had with the boys since Origin started. Billy is feeling fine. Coops is fine - all the representative guys are great. Which is great news for Melbourne, but not so great for their opponents. Craig Bellamy was asked if he sees similarities to last year? "I haven't really gone back to last year, to be quite honest," he said. It probably is a similar situation but I am not a great believer in lightning striking in the same place twice. We are not going back to what we did last year or how we did it. We just need to concentrate on this year. We came here expecting a real tough game. It's a stunning scoreline obviously, a big surprise to everyone. I think I'm still a little bit stunned as well. Storm centre Maurice Blair was stretchered from the field after suffering a neck injury in a tackle in the 11th minute. Blair was transferred to hospital but the Storm were on Sunday night confident Blair had not sustained a serious injury.
