Melbourne are contemplating pulling a shock move and playing Cameron Munster at fullback for their blockbuster NRL Magic Round clash with Penrith on Saturday night. With first-choice Ryan Papenhuyzen ruled out through injury, Storm coach Craig Bellamy named Nick Meaney to shift from the wing to No.1. But Bellamy said star five-eighth Munster was an option. The 27-year-old started his NRL career at fullback in 2014 and spent the bulk of two seasons there when Billy Slater was sidelined with shoulder injuries. He took over the five-eighth jersey fulltime in 2018 but has often spoken of his desire to return to the back. "Munster has played plenty there so we've got some options," Bellamy said on Friday. "He's gone there a couple of times this year ... we'll start a certain way but if that's not quite working out we can make some changes." The Storm are also planning to start Marion Seve in the centres despite him only playing nine NRL games in the past two seasons.
