NRL Immortal Andrew Johns has revealed he's urged Melbourne to send injured star Cameron Munster to a specialist in Sydney to fix a niggling groin issue. Munster is yet to play this season and the Storm haven't been able to put a date on his potential return to the team. Munster has been sidelined by a groin injury he suffered during pre-season, which he then re-aggravated when he slipped in the shower on a team trip in Fiji. Johns said Munster needed to put all his energy into getting his own groin right, or risk it shortening his career. "It's gonna be so tough for him. He's at that age. He's 30," Johns said on Wide World of Sports' Immortal Behaviour. "And Munster being Munster, I was in the sheds (last week) and I was talking to him about it and he was skylarking a bit. "I said, 'mate, this will finish you. If you don't get this right, this will finish you'. I think he realises how serious it is, because it is. It can just come and go for no reason." Johns said it was the "titanium elbows" of Sydney-based osteopath Kay Macpherson that fixed his own groin two decades ago, and recommended Munster pay her a visit. "I reckon I've sent 12 to 15 players to Kay with groins and she fixed them all," he said. Storm legend Cameron Smith accidentally revealed in a hot-mic moment the true extent of Munster's injury might be far worse than first feared. Smith accidentally made the public revelation while recording SEN's Captains Run podcast with former Bronco Denan Kemp. "It's a bit concerning the Munster thing, hey," Smith said.
