Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga (pictured) says he believes the Canberra Raiders have the talent and skill to upset the highly fancied Melbourne Storm in Saturday nights Preliminary Final.

The key to stopping the Storm is to limit the influence of Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk who will become the second Storm player, after Smith to play 300 NRL games.

Meninga says he believes Raiders rake Josh Hodgson is in the best form of his career and if he fires, a Grand final berth is definitely on the cards for the Canberra team.
