Perth Bears target Cameron Munster as 2028 signing option

The Perth Bears are exploring a potential signing of Cameron Munster for the 2028 season. Previously linked to the Bears for 2027, Munster ultimately remained with the Melbourne Storm. With his contract set to expire at the end of 2027, the Storm faces difficulty retaining him amid salary cap constraints. Reports indicate that Munster is unlikely to accept a pay cut, leaving his future open. The Bears are identified as having the financial capacity to pursue big-name players, with Munster being a primary target. Journalist Brent Read noted that the Bears do indeed have available budget for significant player signings in 2028.
