MELBOURNE's Super Rugby destiny sits in its own hands, according to Wallaby scrumhalf Luke Burgess.

The former Brumbies and Waratah back has been impressed with Melbourne's pre-season work ethic, noting high enthusiasm under coach Tony McGahan.

Declaring Melbourne's potential unlimited, Burgess says the Rebels are ready to essay a quantum leap towards finals action in the club's fourth season.

"If we stick to working hard and working for each other, I think we can't put limits on ourselves," Burgess said.

"We're really trying not to put limits on ourselves.

"We're not going to wait and we see. We're going to keep pushing and challenging ourselves and keep finding.

"We've got to find little bits of improvement where wherever we can, this group is pretty hungry and I think we can do that.

"There's a lot of quality, we've got to get the miles in the legs and the experience and keep working hard."

Melbourne players and officials believe the club is capable of dramatic rise this season after finishing 12th with a club record five wins in 2013.

Pointing to the swift ascent of the Brumbies in 2012 when the ACT powerhouse had virtually no Wallaby representation, Burgess senses Melbourne is similarly placed.

:It's a very inexperienced group of players, but really passionate, really enthusiastic," he said.

"We've got amazing coaching staff right through to a fantastic support network.

"It's a very driven group of people and that can only mean good things."

Melbourne will get its first gauge of its progress when it tackles Burgess' old club, NSW Waratahs, in Albury on February 1.

The trial is the first of three hit-outs for the Rebels as club membership climbs towards record levels.
