Tyrone Munro, a promising young winger for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, has recently commented on his future in the NRL. Eligible to negotiate with rival teams starting November 1, Munro faces a critical point in his career as he remains off-contract through the end of the 2025 season. Born in 2004, the 19-year-old has established himself as one of the most talented young players in the league, demonstrating his ability to score consistently, with six tries in just seven appearances this season. His strong performance has made him a valuable asset for the Rabbitohs, who have tabled a three-year contract extension to retain him until the end of the 2028 season.
Despite the Rabbitohs’ offer, no agreement has yet been reached. Reports suggest Munro may consider testing the open market to evaluate his options. However, in an interview with Zero Tackle, Munro conveyed his loyalty to the Rabbitohs, expressing a deep connection to the team and a desire to stay. “I would love to stay,” he stated. “That’s my home. All my brothers are there, and that’s why I’d love to stay.” His commitment to his teammates and the club’s culture reflects the camaraderie that has been essential to his growth as a player.
This season has been challenging for Munro, as he faced setbacks from a recurring shoulder injury, which limited his time on the field. However, he fought through the adversity, returning in time to finish the season strong. Munro described the experience as tough, emphasizing the importance of resilience: “It was pretty tough, mate. Just had to deal with injuries and setbacks, but I just had to keep showing up for my team, family, and brothers.”
With Wayne Bennett set to take over as head coach for the Rabbitohs next season, Munro is likely to become an integral part of the backline. He is expected to secure a starting position on the wing, potentially playing outside Australian Kangaroos players like Jack Wighton or Campbell Graham. Munro expressed enthusiasm about working with Bennett, viewing it as a pivotal opportunity for his development. “I’m looking forward to it,” he said, anticipating the potential growth under Bennett’s guidance. As he contemplates his future, Munro’s commitment to the Rabbitohs and his determination to overcome challenges make him a player to watch closely in the coming seasons.
