In a stunning post-Origin revelation, Queensland Maroons captain Cameron Munster has sent shockwaves through the rugby league world by hinting at a possible early exit from the game. Speaking just days after leading Queensland to a dramatic State of Origin series victory, Munster admitted he is “re-evaluating everything” as he considers what lies ahead for his career.
“I’ve given everything to this game for over a decade, and now I’m at a stage where I need to think about what’s next — not just as a footy player, but as a person,” Munster said during a candid interview.
While the 30-year-old playmaker stopped short of announcing his retirement, his comments have sparked widespread speculation. Some believe he may be eyeing a switch to a different code, a move overseas, or even a surprise early retirement to focus on family and life beyond football.
Munster’s leadership during the 2025 Origin series — particularly after the passing of his father days before Game III — cemented his legacy as one of Queensland’s most resilient captains. Now, with his playing future uncertain, fans and pundits alike are left wondering: what’s next for Munster?
The NRL and Queensland Rugby League have yet to comment on his statement.
