Melbourne NRL star Cameron Munster is voluntarily entering a treatment facility for the next four weeks to deal with his alcohol use.
An emotional Munster addressed the media on Tuesday after he and Storm teammates Brandon Smith and Chris Lewis were sanctioned by the NRL for their post-season antics.
Footage of the Melbourne Storm pair in a hotel room emerged last week showing a white substance was visible on a coffee table.

Issued with breach notices alleging they brought the game into disrepute, the trio will miss the 2022 season opener and face various fines, with Munster hardest hit with a $30,000 penalty. He was also hit with an additional $100,000 suspended fine that will be enacted should he be involved in another disciplinary breach.
Warriors youngster Reece Walsh was issued with a similar breach notice after his Gold Coast arrest which has led to a drug investigation.
The 19-year-old Walsh faces a two-game ban and a $5,000 fine.
Munster said he had had a 'difficult relationship' with alcohol and that he needed to take further steps to deal with the issue.
'Clearly I still have some hurdles to overcome,' he said.
