Melbourne are on track to add another record to one of the most dominant regular seasons in NRL history if they wrap up the minor premiership this weekend.

Already six points clear of the chasing pack, the Storm will guarantee top spot if they beat Canberra on Saturday and the Sydney Roosters are beaten by the Warriors.

In doing so, it will mark the first time a team has secured the JJ Giltinan Shield with three rounds to play since Brisbane in 2000.

It comes after Melbourne lost Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater in successive years as they push for a fourth-straight grand final.

“We obviously have some young faces in the team and that’s the good thing about this side,” Cameron Munster said.

“We’ve got some young players coming through who are hungry for the opportunity.

“You can tell with the way they take it. Ryan Papenhuyzen is a great example.

“We’ve got the young boys who want to come through and learn off the older boys.”

Melbourne have lost just one game in regular time this season, a two-point defeat to Cronulla in May, with their defeats to the Sydney Roosters and Manly both in golden point.

“If we can keep improving each week I’m confident we can have a good crack come the finals,” Munster said.

“We can hopefully keep that dynasty and successful reign going.”
