Munster stated that he was motivated to get his body right for the 2025 season following last year's Grand Final heartache and the injuries he battled through during the 2024 campaign.
While Munster is set to go t-total in a bid to get his body fighting fit following an injury-plagued 2024 campaign, Hughes will limit himself to four glasses of red wine a week but will be banned from consuming any other alcohol.
Hughes enjoyed his best season yet for the Storm, returning a whopping 12 tries across 23 appearances to help the Melbourne club reach the 2024 NRL Grand Final.
The 2024 Dally M winner Hughes stated that because red wine was in his routine, he would not be cutting out alcohol entirely, limiting himself to four glasses per week, but said he would not be drinking anything else or binge drinking.
Munster, meanwhile, endured a stop-start 2024 season, battling through a groin and hip injury that saw him play 17 matches for Melbourne and miss the 2024 Origin Series.
