only with the Papua New Guinea Chiefs<\/a>, who have already secured a swath of star signatures including Jarome Luai, Brian To\u2019o, Alex Johnston and Joey Manu ahead of their inaugural NRL season in 2028.<\/p>\n\ufeffMunster\u2019s player agent Justin Caines told the Telegraph that \u201chealthy discussions\u201d with the Storm remain ongoing, but that the Queensland great needs to consider his future.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have informed Melbourne of Cameron\u2019s desire to test the open market in November,\u201d Caines said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn years gone by, Cameron has remained loyal and taken less to remain at Melbourne. But with the trajectory of the salary cap, it would be remiss of us to not see what is out there for Cameron.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis free agency is a different scenario for Cameron. He now has a wife and three lovely children whose futures he needs to secure, so he has a lot to consider.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caines took over as Munster\u2019s agent after Anasta stepped down from his role to continue as the face of Fox League, with the Storm five-eighth taking a cheeky jab at his now former agent and Cooper Cronk in a hilarious interview after Melbourne\u2019s win over Cronulla.<\/p>\n
Munster\u2019s future was a topic of conversation, with Cronk asking the Melbourne superstar why he was reading headlines in the paper about the 31-year-old\u2019s future at the club being in doubt.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be throwing stones in glass houses Coops,\u201d Munster laughed, calling it a \u201cmedia beat-up\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think with my new manager Justin, I got rid of Braith so he\u2019s been doing some good stuff for me at the moment, Justin. So see ya Braith and all the best with Justin, we\u2019re going to the world.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going overseas to St Helens,\u201d Munster then cheekily added when new Saints coach Kevin Walters asked a question.<\/p>\n

Munster was a prime target for the Dolphins ahead of the club\u2019s entrance into the NRL in 2023, but ultimately chose to knock back a reported $6 million offer to remain loyal to the Storm and coach Craig Bellamy.<\/p>\n
Under NRL rules, Caines and Munster cannot approach rival clubs until November 1, but the demand for his services is expected to be fierce.<\/p>\n
He has already been strongly linked to the Broncos, who are in dire need of halves with Adam Reynolds having retired and Ben Hunt also expected to call it quits at the end of next season.<\/p>\n
Munster would be a significant coup for the 2025 premiers, whose disastrous title defence came to an end on Thursday night with a 34-20 win over the Bulldogs to leave them 14th on the ladder.<\/p>\n
The three-time Dally M five-eighth of the year has publicly hinted at a return to his home state, where his status as a Maroons legend would only be enhanced by finishing his career as a Bronco.<\/p>\n
He cited AFL games record holder Scott Pendlebury\u2019s decision to leave Collingwood for the Gold Coast Suns, where he is set to wind up as a player before transitioning into coaching, as an example to potentially follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho knows, I could do a Scott Pendlebury,\u201d Munster told CODE Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll be playing the high quality footy that he\u2019s playing, but I could definitely squeeze the lemon if I have to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A blockbuster Cameron Munster move to the Brisbane Broncos is one step closer, after the Melbourne star reportedly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-880990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880990","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=880990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
