So what did Munster say to Marshall about the possibility of a partnership?
“I said ‘look mate, I’ll have a think about it’. It wasn’t like I said ‘show me the money’.”
Despite some of the big numbers being bandied about regarding his future, Munster says that money isn’t motivating his decision whatsoever. With a young family and a partner who is also from
Queensland, he says their future is now his primary concern.
“(This decision) will be about where I can play my best footy and doing what is best for my family. That’s all it is. It’s not about money.”
“It’s about what my partner wants, it’s not about me anymore. It’s about helping her out if do want to have more kids. We’re weighing up the best fit for myself, but as a family as well.”
“I’ve put everything on the backburner at the moment. The last couple of weeks have been pretty heated negotiation-wise. I felt like it crept into my game a little bit.”
