Yes, there could be some interest in him,\u201d Anasta said.<\/p>\n \u201cRight now, Cameron is open to the Perth Bears.<\/p>\n \u201cI know the Perth Bears are interested in him. They are open to signing him.<\/p>\n \u201cCameron hasn\u2019t said I want to go to Perth, but the Storm are planning ahead and by the time he is off-contract again, they might not be able to afford him.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Munster\u2019s Storm teammates Jonah Pezet, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Ryan Papenhuyzen all have their own contract decisions to make. <\/p>\n Walsh among seven debutants for Ashes | 02:45<\/p>\n According to The Australian\u2019s Brent Read, Papenhuyzen could be granted a release if he agrees to sign with the rebel rugby competition.<\/p>\n \u201cRyan Papenhuyzen is the other big one, all the talk about R360, if he is going to go to R360 at the end of next year,\u201d Read said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think there\u2019s a school of thought that maybe if you want to go to rugby, go now… they think he is going to R360 at the end of next year.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think Paps has had his best year, I think we can all see that. I think he has looked down all year, I can even say he has looked distracted at times.\u201d<\/p>\n The star fullback could be handed a multimillion-dollar contract to make the switch, and The Daily Telegraph\u2019s phil Rothfield was happy to let him walk.<\/p>\n \u201cIf that\u2019s Melbourne\u2019s stance, if you\u2019re going to R360, give him a cab docket and take him to any airport he wants to go to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Pezet is the next big-name star who could be on the move, with NRL360 host Anasta revealing his client can exercise a clause to make an instant switch.<\/p>\n The young gun halfback has been linked with a host of clubs. including the Raiders, Rabbitohs, Cowboys and Knights.<\/p>\n \u201cHuge couple of weeks, more so Jonah because again with that clause with Jahrome, if we want, we can execute a clause where he is a free agent right now,\u201d Anasta said.<\/p>\n JWH banned from Super League Grand Final | 00:37<\/p>\n MORE GRAND FINAL NEWS<\/p>\n CRAWLS: Why Walsh\u2019s stunner may have finished Bellamy; sin bin shambles needs fix<\/a><\/p>\n INSIDE: Broncos\u2019 wild GF celebrations: Reece\u2019s Stefano sledge as legend denied entry<\/a><\/p>\n
