Scans have confirmed the Storm superstar will join Nathan Cleary, Tom Trbojevic and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui on the sidelines for the showpiece series.
Cameron Munster will miss the entire State of Origin series after being ruled out for up to 10 weeks with a groin injury, but the Storm will delay surgery in the hope the playmaker can return for their title tilt.in Magic Round, with scans on Monday confirming he will miss an extended period with an adductor tendon tear.
Surgery now would rule Munster out for the remainder of the season, but the Storm are holding out hope he will recover and be fit for the finals run-in. “Our club doctor sought independent medical advice, and we decided to take the conservative approach through treatment and rehabilitation without the need for surgery.“While it is obviously disappointing for both Cameron and the club to be missing football at this stage of the season, we are confident this approach will give him the best chance of recovery in the long term.”
Queensland coach Billy Slater will choose between North Queensland’s Tom Dearden, Brisbane’s Ezra Mam and the Roosters’ Sam Walker for the vacant five-eighth position alongside captain Daly Cherry-Evans.“This is not new to me,” Slater said. “I know where he is at, I know the situation he’s in, I know what he’s been carrying and what he has been dealing with. For me, it was just hard watching him deal with it on Sunday. It’s a tough game.
