Munster likely to leave Storm over $350,000 pay cut
Melbourne Storm reportedly offered Cameron Munster a two-year deal worth around $750,000, representing a $350,000 annual pay cut.
Cameron Munster's management rejected the contract extension offer, reportedly upset at the pay reduction. The Storm reportedly tabled a two-year deal worth around $750,000, but Munster currently earns significantly more.
Munster captained Queensland this year and plays five-eighth for Australia, so his camp believes the cut disrespects his standing. Cameron Munster is set to hit the open market on November 1.
Hooker Harry Grant is also likely to seek a fresh deal elsewhere, with Perth potentially in the hunt for both men. The clock is ticking for Melbourne to lock them in before the deadline.
