Cameron Munster has officially shut down months of speculation about his next move.
The Storm playmaker confirmed he will honour his deal with Melbourne until the end of 2027.
It comes amid rumours linking him to the Perth Bears and rugby’s R360 competition.
Speaking from the UK ahead of the Kangaroos’ Ashes series, Munster said he has no plans to leave.

Munster turns down huge offers
“I will honour my contract and the club doesn’t want to let me go,” Munster told News Corp.
“I love the club, I love ‘Bellyache’ (Craig Bellamy) and I love what the club is all about.”
“I know you want to jab me with a metal prod and get something out of me, but I’m still signed for two more years and I will fulfil my contract.”
“If they don’t want me any longer than those two years, and they want to push me out in a wheelchair, then that’s what they will have to do.”
Munster said the Storm made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere.
“I have spoken to Melbourne and, even if there was an inkling of the door being ajar to leave, they don’t want me going,” he said.
“They don’t know where that whisper came from. It didn’t come from my management.”
The 29-year-old revealed he had already turned down a huge offer from the Dolphins in 2022.
“I could have left for big money to go to the Dolphins,” Munster said.
“I’m not going to PNG with no tax.”
“They could offer me the same amount of money that the Dolphins offered me.”
“I didn’t take it then so I won’t take it now.”
One last deal before retirement
Munster said he expects his next contract to be his last.
“I will be 33 years old by the end of this contract,” he said.
“I am guessing after that, whether I re-sign or go somewhere else, that will be my last contract.”
“I have the reality of knowing that it will be my last deal playing professional rugby league, which is sad I guess in a way but that’s what happens the older you get.”
“Hopefully I can play some good footy in the next couple of years.”
