Munster and Martin's rivalry escalates after tackle

Cameron Munster and Liam Martin's rivalry heated up again during a recent NRL match. They clashed after a hip drop tackle and exchanged words, leading to a scuffle. Despite the intense moments, Munster was not penalized and will play in the upcoming game against the Dragons. Experts had expected Munster might face a suspension for the tackle. Commentators Matty Johns and Bryan Fletcher were concerned about his potential punishment, given strict rules on hip drop tackles. However, Munster avoided disciplinary action. In the match, a late penalty against Munster gave the Panthers a chance to equalize. Munster disagreed with the call, saying, “I’ve seen worse things get away.” He felt it was a 50/50 decision. Fellow player Wade Graham also suggested that the penalty was questionable. The boiling tension between Munster and Martin stems from a past comment where Martin called Munster a "liability." Munster acknowledged that their competitiveness fuels their rivalry, but he respects Martin's skills on the field. Martin, for his part, was surprised by Munster's thoughts about their history, claiming they had no issues during their time together in the Kangaroos camp. Munster's mother even advised him to mend things with Martin, showing that family cares about sportsmanship. Despite the rivalry, both players recognize the respect they have for each other, fueling their intense competition on the field.
