Melbourne prop Josh King is well aware how desperate Canterbury will be in their NRL clash on Friday night because his side were in the same ugly position just two games ago.
The Storm head to Accor Stadium to face the Bulldogs, who are feeling the heat after five straight losses.
Both teams have eight points, although Melbourne are ahead in 13th spot with a superior points differential after ending their own seven game losing streak with wins over Parramatta and Wests Tigers.
While the Bulldogs have only chalked up three wins, King said they'd proven themselves capable by inflicting ladder leader Penrith's only loss of the season.
"We're in the same sort of situation a little bit," King told AAP.
