Storm and Kangaroos star Cameron Munster says he has no plans to retire anytime soon, revealing he still has \u201cfour more years\u201d left in him. <\/p>\n
Preparing with the Australian side ahead of next Sunday morning\u2019s (AEDT) Ashes opener against England, the 31-year-old says he wants to play until he\u2019s 35. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m 31, mate, so maybe four more years. I\u2019d like to say I\u2019ve got four more years,\u201d Munster told The Daily Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n WHAT’S GAMBLING REALLY COSTING YOU?

The older you get, the luckier you are these days with recovery, sports science and nutritionists.<\/p>\n \u201cFooty managers and heads of performance do great jobs at every club to get the boys up. <\/p>\n \u201cSo many players now play beyond 33. Look at Daly Cherry-Evans (36) and Cameron Smith (37) \u2026 I like to be a realist and I think 35 is probably realistic for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Munster is under contract until the end of 2027 but there has been plenty of speculation about his future.<\/p>\n His preference is to stay in Melbourne, but he has been linked to the Perth Bears and has also been approached by Rugby Australia and R360.<\/p>\n Where he decides to finish his career could depend heavily on what his head coach Craig Bellamy elects to do.<\/p>\n Bellamy\u2019s name has been in the headlines this week after sensationally being linked to the Gold Coast Titans.<\/p>\n The club have reportedly approached Bellamy to become the Titans head coach from 2027, despite Josh Hannay\u2019s recent hiring.<\/p>\n However, it has been revealed that Hannay has a clause in his contract which would see him cop a demotion if Bellamy was hired.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a chance Bellamy lands at the Titans in a consultancy role. Munster knows what he\u2019d prefer. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone would be filthy enough to tell him that he couldn\u2019t leave,\u201d Munster said<\/p>\n \u201cA mentoring role I can understand, where clubs want to get him to use his knowledge. But to be the head coach of another club would be a different feeling for everyone.<\/p>\n \u201cEven fans would be saying, \u2018I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m a big fan of that\u2019. But it is what it is. <\/p>\n \u201c(Bellamy) hasn\u2019t spoken to me about it and I don\u2019t know whether he would talk to me about it but if he does go I would definitely miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Storm and Kangaroos star Cameron Munster says he has no plans to retire anytime soon, revealing he still…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,689,4567,3193,135807,8089,17343,4430,135921,763,4612,5330,18387,647,761,762,158,677,85,660],"class_list":{"0":"post-223921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-australia-and-new-zealand","11":"tag-cameron-munster","12":"tag-cameron-smith","13":"tag-consultancy-role","14":"tag-craig-bellamy","15":"tag-daily-telegraph","16":"tag-daly-cherry-evans","17":"tag-footy-managers","18":"tag-fox-league","19":"tag-gold-coast-titans","20":"tag-head-coach","21":"tag-josh-hannay","22":"tag-melbourne","23":"tag-national-rugby-league","24":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","25":"tag-nrl","26":"tag-oceania","27":"tag-sports","28":"tag-victoria"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
