"Who says that?" challenged Mal Meninga, casting doubt over Cameron Munster's future with the Australian Kangaroos squad in 2025.
The head coach's skepticism comes after a hard-fought victory over Tonga in the final of the 2024 Pacific Championships at Parramatta's CommBank Stadium on Sunday.
Munster, who missed this year's Pacific Championships due to off-season surgery, found himself sidelined for both the Championship and the State of Origin series.
Tom Dearden, his stand-in, stepped up to the plate with impressive performances in Munster's absence.
As Dearden looks set to retain his spot in the North Queensland Cowboys' starting lineup next season alongside Jake Clifford, Munster's return to the Kangaroos squad remains uncertain.
