Storm star Cameron Munster has given NRL fans a hilarious insight into what was going on in Melbourne's coaching box as Xavier Coates flew through the air to score the match-winning try against the Warriors. Munster is currently battling a groin injury and is expected to return to action in round five but in the meantime, he has been sitting with Bellamy and the Storm coaching staff during games. On Saturday, Melbourne were down by eight points with just over three minutes to play but snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with two quick tries, capped off by Coates's try that has been described as the best in NRL history. With the seconds counting down the ball spread to Coates on the wing, who looked like he was going to run out of room as Dallin Watene-Zelezniak slid across in defence. And I said to him, I think it may be simultaneous with his hand and he goes, ‘What the f**k does that mean?’, so I was like what do you mean? Then he said, ‘What does that mean Munster?’, so I said mate it means it could be 50/50. It could be him with his hand on the ground and the ball hitting the line at the same time, so he was like, ‘Oh don’t tell me that.'" Munster revealed that even after one of the Storm's coaching staff had informed Bellamy that he could breathe easy as it was definitely a try, the Melbourne coach could not sit still until he saw the referee confirm it was a four-pointer. "He didn’t believe it," Munster said. "You boys have done really well to win for Bellyache otherwise he would have needed a new pacemaker."
