Cameron Munster possibly becoming a Perth Bears franchise player has been knocked on the head despite suggestions he could be the marquee man.

Reports have festered that the Storm would allow Munster to exit the last year of his contract in 2027 to only join Perth and make him the highest paid player in the game.

However, 9news Sydney’s Danny Weidler said on Nine’s 100% Footy that the Storm are “bemused” by that suggestion.

“The Storm have been pretty adamant about keeping players to their contracts,” he added.

Storm icon Cameron Smith described the potential for a Munster move as “scuttle”.

“Knowing Cam Munster and the type of person he is, I think he’d like to stick out his time in the NRL as a one-club player,” he said.

“He’s built a great life down there in Melbourne around his football career, he’s built a young family with his wife Bianca.

“I know he’s got a great relationship with Craig Bellamy and also the chairman, Matt Tripp.

“I really can’t see him moving on and playing elsewhere. I know it’d be fairly enticing as a marquee player moving over to the west and the new franchise.

“He’s been coached by Mal Meninga as well at the Kangaroos and they get along great. I just can’t see Cam moving away from the Melbourne Storm.”

Munster will be 33 at the end of his current deal and previously knocked back a mammoth offer from the Dolphins to stay loyal.

How the Storm manage their roster going forward will be intriguing. Jahrome Hughes is reportedly set to extend, meaning young half Jonah Pezet can negotiate with rivals through a clause in his contract.

Tyran Wishart has also made a name for himself as a half off the bench.
