Five days post their 26-20 Grand Final win against Penrith, the Melbourne Storm boys are still going strong, partying in Byron Bay.
Matty Johns spoke with his son, Storm player Cooper Johns, live from the seemingly never ending session on 1170 SEN Morning Glory, and hilarity ensued.
Johns Jnr explained how Brandon Smith was booked in for the interview but failed to show.
“I told him three days ago, Friday 11 o’clock book it in, and I’ve got a text from the 'Hectic Cheese' (Brandon Smith) saying he’ll be here, but I don’t know where he is,” Cooper said.
“It’s been a big week, we were in the sheds until the early hours of the morning, we went back to our resort and kicked on there for a few days.
“Then me and Brandon (Smith) drove down on Wednesday to Byron, and the team jumped on board, there’s 15 of us here, it’s a good time.
“I’m going to easily give (best on ground) to Brandon Smith, Cameron Munster was very good too.
“The only one who was pretty reluctant to go to Origin camp was Cameron Munster, I can confirm he called Mal Meninga for an extra 48 hours in Byron.”
Arriving late to the show, Brandon Smith made a great entrance to Matty Johns' delight.
“You boys wouldn’t believe who’s just walked in, 'Cheese' has just walked through the door,” Cooper added.
“Never been better,” Smith told Johns, perfectly summing up the situation.
