Sunday's World Cup final at Suncorp Stadium could be decided by goalkicking, with New Zealand's Jamayne Isaako considered the game's best marksman.
Australia's Cameron Munster has converted 11 of 15 attempts, despite barely kicking goals for Melbourne in the past four years.
He took over from Reece Walsh during Australia's 66-6 win over the Cook Islands and kept the role in the 44-12 semi-final victory over Samoa.
With regular NRL kickers Sam Walker and Latrell Mitchell not in the starting side, Munster has handled the duties without practising.
"To be completely honest, I don't really like goalkicking," Munster grinned.
"I just do it because we've got no one in the squad doing it at the moment.
"Reece is the number one kicker, so if he feels good enough to do it on Sunday, he'll take over.
"If he pulls up a little bit lame on captain's run with his groins, I'll probably take over."
Munster made 18 runs for 146 metres against Samoa and supplied three try assists.
"When I am playing my best, it is when I'm running the ball. That's the mindset and the aim for myself on Sunday," Munster said.
He played in Australia's 2022 World Cup final win over Samoa after missing the 2017 final, and hopes the new squad members can experience a title victory.
A free agent since November 1, Munster said his attention remained on the tournament and his manager was handling his future.
He had postponed a Storm-approved visit to discuss the PNG Chiefs and declined Wednesday to say whether he would travel to Port Moresby.
