In a shocking turn of events, Cameron Munster has been hit with a fresh injury setback, throwing Melbourne Storm's NRL title hopes into doubt.
The Storm five-eighth, known for his electrifying plays and game-changing abilities, is facing an uphill battle with his fitness, according to his agent Braith Anasta.
Munster has been dealing with nagging groin and hip issues, which forced him to sit out for two months earlier in the season.
Despite making a triumphant return to the field recently, it seems that he is still far from peak condition.
Anasta dropped a bombshell on NRL 360, revealing that Munster is unlikely to hit the 100 per cent mark before the finals.
He mentioned that the star player will probably be operating at around 80 per cent, a situation that raises concerns for the Storm's quest to outshine the Panthers and claim the top spot on the NRL ladder.
Despite the less-than-ideal circumstances, Munster's agent remains optimistic about his performance, suggesting that even at 80 per cent fitness, the rugby league maestro is capable of delivering a five-star performance.
While fans may be worried about Munster's condition, they will undoubtedly be hoping for a miraculous recovery as the Storm gear up for a tough battle ahead.
