Storm back Munster to make call on knee

Cameron Munster will have the final say on whether he plays Friday night's NRL qualifying final against Manly after getting through captain's run comfortably with a stitched-up knee. Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy has backed the judgement of his superstar five-eighth to make the call on game day knowing the first spot in the preliminary finals is at stake against the red-hot Sea Eagles side. Munster completed most of Thursday's training with the decision to come on game day depending on how the 26-year-old pulls up overnight. "We won't take any great risks with him, but basically the decision is going to be up to him," Bellamy said. "He's an experienced player and knows what's expected in these big games so he will make that decision, and then we'll go from there. "It doesn't look like it's hindering him at all ... it is a bit of a risk, it's his knee so he needs to do what he feels comfortable with." "Last time he had two try assists and a fair few metres," Bellamy said. "We did do a pretty good job, but I imagine it's going to be another level (on Friday) night. "We can't stop it, we've just got to try and reduce that effectiveness as much as possible."
