\u201cHe\u2019s in plaster already. That wasn\u2019t a great idea to put him back in this week, but anyway. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d imagine it\u2019s season over, I can\u2019t answer that question directly, but I\u2019d imagine it would be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Munster admitted Hughes would be a big loss, but has confidence in back-up halves Tyran Wishart and Jonah Pezet, but was more worried about his side\u2019s defence than the injury to his Storm teammate. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be nice, but we\u2019ve got Pezet and Wishart there, they are good quality players,\u201d Munster said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI played with them last three or four weeks before Jahrome came back, so we had a really good combination. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think we lost one and that was the Roosters together. It\u2019s obviously going to be disappointing not having Hughes, he\u2019s such an integral part to our attack and our defence. \u201cHe\u2019s a class player, don\u2019t get me wrong. He won the Dally M for a reason last year. But we\u2019ve got some good depth in our halves. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of belief in those two guys, Paz. I know a lot of people are going to put a lot of speculation, a lot of stuff in the headlines and media about whether we can do it or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s what you sell the papers for. We\u2019ve got to worry about our own four walls. Like Craig spoke about, we\u2019ve got to have defence wins games and we\u2019ve leaked 70 points. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can work on our defence, points will come. We\u2019ve got to have a good hard look at ourselves and our defence if we just have an attitude problem. At the moment, the last couple of weeks, our attitude stinks.\u201d <\/p>\n

Munster called on his side to get tougher on their performance and not rely on preparation to get them through games at the business end of the season. <\/p>\n
\u201cDisappointing leaking that many points, but we tried to address it in the week,\u201d Munster said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we had a great preparation. I thought we really had our heads on. But sometimes the preparation doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re going to play well on the weekend. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe attitude was all there during the week. Whether we might need something to throw a spanner in the works next week, who knows. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut for us, we can\u2019t just rely on our preparation to get us through the game, so we\u2019ve got to work on our defence next week. <\/p>\n
\u201cLike Bellyache talks about, bite on the mouth guard and get your shoulders ready for next week and it is one of those things that we have to address because Dogs are a good team and they won\u2019t go away. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019ve got them at home. The crowd\u2019s not going to always get us home, but it\u2019ll be nice to play in front of our home crowd and fingers crossed we can deliver.\u201d <\/p>\n
