The Storm had been with out Cameron Munster towards the Sea Eagles, with captain Christian Welch labelling the absence was because of “Caxton-itis” in a humorous second of Melbourne’s post-match press convention.
Munster didn’t again up for the Storm of their 24-6 win, after enjoying an enormous position in Queensland’s series-clinching victory on Wednesday night time because of an undisclosed sickness.
Welch and Craig Bellamy noticed the lighter facet of it, with the Melbourne coach assured Munster might be again within the line up subsequent week.

“He was sitting up in the box with a mask on, I’m not sure if he was going to go rob a bank or something, I’m not quite sure,” Bellamy quipped.
“He had some sort of illness, I’m not quite sure what. It was an illness I hadn’t heard of before actually,” Bellamy mentioned.
“I don’t know if Munster made it up or the doctor did pull one out of the bag but anyway, I’m not quite sure whether the 10-12 schooners after the game on Wednesday might have added to it as well.
“He should be right and hopefully he’s back for next week.”

Munster’s absence wasn’t felt, with younger five-eighth Jonah Pezet performing effectively alongside established halfback Jahrome Hughes.
Pezet acquired over a few early errors at hand in one of many higher performances of his younger profession.
Welch praised the younger half’s confidence and talent to rapidly transfer on from errors.
“He’s confident isn’t he? Try playing golf with the bloke. Yap, yap, yap, yap,” Welch mentioned.
“He’s great. You want your halves to step up but he takes control of his edge and his team and that’s what you want from your spine players, to take some ownership.
“I say to him to not go into his shell, but he doesn’t really need to be told as he’s pretty good with his headspace even after a couple of errors.”
