Despite four straight losses, Melbourne's skipper Harry Grant believes the season's finish line is far off, urging the team to improve and stay focused.

The Canberra Times

With their NRL finals hopes already written off in some quarters on their back of their fourth successive loss, defiant Melbourne skipper Harry Grant says the "finish line" is still far away.

The Storm will look to avoid a 14-year low of five straight losses when they travel to Canberra to face the Raiders.

With a 2-4 record to open the season, they are in unfamiliar territory, sitting 13th on the ladder, with only three teams conceding more points.

The No.9 agreed with the assessment that Melbourne's performance, and particularly defence, wasn't up to standard and said the team needed to "show more grit" when things weren't going their way.
