2014

Munster played for the Storm's NYC team in the earlier rounds of 2014[5] before moving on to the Storm's Queensland Cup team, Eastern Suburbs Tigers. On 18 March 2014, Munster extended his contract with the Storm until the end of 2017.[6] On 3 May 2014, Munster played for the Queensland Under-20s team against the New South Wales Under-20s team, playing off the interchange bench in the 30-8 loss at Penrith Stadium.[7][8] In Round 12 of the 2014 NRL season, Munster made his NRL debut for the Storm against the North Queensland Cowboys.[9]

2015

In Round 6 against the Canberra Raiders, Munster returned for the Storm, filling in for the injured Billy Slater at fullback and also scoring his first NRL career try in the 14-10 win at Canberra Stadium.[10] From Round 12 onwards after incumbent fullback Billy Slater was ruled out for the rest of the year due to a shoulder injury, Munster stepped up and filled in the vacant position at ease.[11][12][13] In Round 22 against the Gold Coast Titans, Munster scored a hatrick in the Storm’s 36-14 win at AAMI Park.[14] Munster finished his promising 2015 NRL season with him playing in 19 matches and scoring 7 tries for the Storm.[15]

2016

On 12 January 2016, Munster was selected in the QAS Emerging Origin squad.[16] On 31 January 2016, while in the Emerging Maroons camp, Munster broke curfew and the QRL announced he would be excluded from its representative programs for the next 12 months.[17] On 1 February 2016, Munster was named in the Storm's 2016 Auckland Nines squad.[18]
