STORM star Cameron Munster was given a disciplinary wake-up call during the Kangaroos’ World Cup campaign after coming to blows with green and gold teammate Ben Hunt on a night out.

The Kangaroos opted to send Munster home to Melbourne to front Storm coach Craig Bellamy and football director Frank Ponissi to explain himself after the incident.

When Munster returned to the Kangaroos camp in Brisbane the young gun playmaker immediately apologised to coach Mal Meninga and Test captain Cameron Smith.

The incident in question occurred while the Kangaroos were in Darwin.

Storm football director Ponissi said the club’s policy was it did not make comment on off-field issues.

“What I will say is we are very pleased with how Cameron has returned to pre-season training since coming back in early January,” Ponissi said.

“Where Cameron is at right at the moment his attitude has been first class, he’s certainly contributing well and we we’re very happy with him.”

Earlier this month, Queensland chairman of selectors Gene Miles warned the Maroons would not tolerate “mug lairs” inside their champion set-up in an interview with foxsports.com.au.

There have been suggestions this was aimed at Munster.

Last season was a breakout year for the 23-year-old, who was brilliant on debut for Queensland wearing the No.6 jumper made famous by Wally Lewis, Kevin Walters and Darren Lockyer.

Munster capped the season by winning a grand final with Melbourne and then winning selection in the Kangaroos 24-man squad for the victorious green and gold World Cup campaign.

In his two Test match appearances during the World Cup, Munster was named the Kangaroos players’ player.

Munster and Kangaroo teammate Hunt are believed to have shaken hands and laughed off the incident.
