Melbourne Storm’s U21s bounced back in style on Saturday, delivering an impressive 52-14 win over the Canberra Raiders in Round 8.

Storm came out firing, scoring three early tries to set the tone for the match. They took a commanding 24-6 lead into halftime and didn’t let up, doubling their score in the second half to seal a dominant performance.

The win lifts Melbourne into second place on the ladder.

Blake Kehl was a standout, getting a hat-trick, while Gabriel Satrick added two strong tries of his own. Dylan Brettle also impressed, nailing seven out of nine conversions.

The U21s will look to carry their momentum into next weekend when they host the New Zealand Warriors at Seabrook on Saturday.
