Munster and Grant both done for at least two weeks.
Storm NRL squad members Cameron Munster and Harry Grant will each miss at least two rounds of the competition due to injury.

Munster (foot sprain) and Grant (hamstring) have been ruled out of Magic Round this weekend and the round 11 trip to Canberra after having their injuries confirmed by scans.
Munster suffered his injury in the win against South Sydney last Thursday and it prevented him from training with the squad yesterday.

Grant suffered his hamstring tear during that session.

Storm General Manager - Football Frank Ponissi said the club was hopeful of having both players available for the round 12 Indigenous Round match against Brisbane.

"That would be best case scenario for both Cameron and Harry," he said.

"If that doesn’t happen we expect they would both be okay for the opening State of Origin match in Melbourne."
Pathetic origin is even being mentioned imo.

F*ck! That certainly sucks.

Wonder what this means for the line-up over the next two weeks... nothing good, that's for sure. Either Hynes or Jacks into 5/8 and Smoothy back on the bench?

But don't worry they'll both be right for State of Origin in Melbourne. FFS!! This is exactly why I believe that we shouldn't be playing SOO during the season. Club should always come before state in my opinion. I know this will be an unpopular opinion but so be it.

Not unpopular with me. I hate origin for this exact reason

I forgot about Brandon's suspension for incidental contact :cry:

Smoothy may slot straight into starting 9.

Booth could be a shot too maybe? Neither an ideal option but that happens when we're going for the 3rd/4th string

Im really deflated now

Hammy injuries in a young man are rare, but once you get them, they tend to go easily
