the superstar playmaker said following a children&#8217;s school holiday training clinic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone&#8217;s here in this team for a reason &#8211; they&#8217;re talented, they can run the ball, pass the ball, defend &#8211; it&#8217;s just a matter of an attitude thing and we need to switch that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Munster said the Panthers had shown what was required to be a title threat and believed the runaway leaders could go through the competition unbeaten.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t see why not,&#8221; the 31-year-old said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know they talk about the Origin period and stuff, but at the same time they&#8217;ve got good personnel, they&#8217;re very hungry, their system is working at the moment and they&#8217;re humming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Test five-eighth said the Storm, who have slipped to 11th on the ladder, needed to adopt the Panthers&#8217; aggression both in defence and attack when they lined up against the fifth-placed Warriors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were more aggressive with the ball, attacking-wise, and more aggressive in defence &#8211; they were hitting together and we were hitting one-on-one individually &#8230; trying to go out of the system and trying to do it themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no excuses on why we&#8217;re not playing that well as I think everyone&#8217;s working really hard at training, but it&#8217;s just not coming together at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got to be better and I&#8217;ll make sure I do everything I can this week to get us up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Munster said the training clinic was the ideal way to &#8220;rejuvenate&#8221; the side, which he felt had lacked energy in their three successive losses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know there&#8217;s obviously a lot of history and stats around if have 50 put on you you can&#8217;t make the grand final, and it&#8217;s up to us as a group to change that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hopefully this is a little bit of a rejuvenation for us boys, seeing the turnout, the kids wanting some signatures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hopefully tomorrow we can train well and bring the energy back because I think the last couple of weeks, I feel like the energy hasn&#8217;t been there for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Put through a brutal training session on the back of their record-setting loss, Cameron Munster says Melbourne need&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-591005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
