In a recent article, it was revealed that Dolphins coach Wayne Bennett was on the verge of signing Melbourne star Cameron Munster, but a single phone call changed everything.
According to a new book about Bennett, Munster came close to becoming the Dolphins' first marquee signing.
However, the next day Munster had a change of heart and decided to stay in Melbourne.
He called his manager, not Bennett, and said, "I want to stay in Melbourne now." The Storm then increased their offer to meet Munster's demands, and a deal was ultimately reached.
After the grand final, Munster called his manager again and expressed his desire to win another competition with Melbourne.
This turn of events left Bennett furious, as Munster had not informed him of his decision and had gone to the UK with the Kangaroos.
Bennett criticized Munster's actions, stating, "It's pretty ordinary stuff.
I understand there are managers these days, but what I struggle with is all the tough conversations are missing."
