Melbourne are set to lose five-eighth Cameron Munster for their Friday night NRL clash with North Queensland due to an ankle injury, but superstar Billy Slater has recovered from his bout with concussion.

Slater, however, has made a remarkable recovery after copping a sickening high-tackle from Canberra's Sia Soliola which forced him out of the last round.
