Cameron Munster

In a couple of years, the big 3 (Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Billy Slater) will all be gone from the Melbourne Storm. This will leave the people of Melbourne looking for a player that can lead them into the next era.

There is a good chance that man will be Cameron Munster. He has proven he is a flexible player that can play in both the five-eighth role and in the fullback role when Billy Slater is injured. If Munster is to stay with the Storm after the big 3 leave he will have full control of the Melbourne Storm around the ruck.


No longer will he play third fiddle to Cronk and Smith, he will have to take up the responsibility of directing the Melbourne Storm his way. He has proven this to be true in the one game he has played for Queensland.

In his first game for the Maroons, Munster was key in the win over the Blues as he took control of ruck and created some key plays that set the Queenslanders up in a good position to attack.

He is likely to be the future of the Melbourne Storm for years to come along with a Dally M medal threat.
