The Melbourne Storm will be without star five-eighth Cameron Munster and gun hooker Harry Grant for the next fortnight after the pair succumbed to injury.
Munster has suffered a foot sprain and Grant has torn a hamstring, ruling them out of the Storm's next two games against the St George Illawarra Dragons and Canberra Raiders.

Munster suffered his injury during Melbourne's 50-0 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs last Thursday, while Grant strained his hamstring during yesterday's training session.
They are both expected to be fit for the opening game of the State of Origin series on June 9.
Storm general manager of football Frank Ponissi said the club was hopeful of having both players available for the Round 12 Indigenous Round match against the Brisbane Broncos.
"That would be the best-case scenario for both Cameron and Harry," Ponissi said.
"If that doesn't happen we expect they would both be okay for the opening State of Origin match in Melbourne."
Melbourne will also be without prolific fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen (shoulder), dangerous hooker Brandon Smith (suspension) and Queensland Maroons centre Brenko Lee (calf) for this week's Magic Round clash.
