Melbourne Storm Star Cameron Munster admits his desire to play fullback is greater than that of an Origin opportunity.
In what was a stellar year for the 24-year old performance wise, it was the outcome of the Grand Final, a loss against the Roosters, which saw Cameron Munster enter a tough period of time.
During an interview with Courier-Mail Editor Peter Badel, NRL star Cameron Munster opened up on his struggles since losing in the 2018 Telstra premiership Grand Final, the treats he received after what can only be described as a gruelling game, and the loss of a football friend to suicide.
In the interview, Munster opens up about his desires for his career, particularly in light of the retirement of Billy Slater at the end of the 2018 season.
Munster revealed that his desire to take over the fullback position, which has belonged to Slater for many years, would mean he would do just about anything to secure the spot- even if it meant giving up the Five-Eighth role for the Maroons.
Munster told Badel "Fullback has always been my favourite spot, it's all I wanted to do. I didn't expect myself to adapt so easily to the Five-Eighth role".
Earlier in the year Munster's future at Melbourne was uncertain, with many clubs ready to pounce to sign the star play-maker. However a conversation with Coach Craig Bellamy helped persuade the star to resign, particularly discussing his fullback desires.
"It's a discussion that me and 'Bellyache' (Coach Bellamy) have had and what is best for the team... My ambition is to wear the Storm No. 1 jumper and if it means I lose the Queensland and Australian five-eighth jumpers, well that's something I have to face up to."
