A perfect Munster? Even the Maroons maestro No.6 admitted that was unlikely but he said coach Billy Slater had set the bar at lofty heights for this current team.
"Billy wants perfection. That's the reason why he is such a great coach and was as a player," Munster told AAP.
"I have never had perfection in my life. I always put my foot in it and stuff up somewhere but we all want to improve and get better. Billy knows we can. I know we can. We have so much improvement left in us."
There is no doubt the win in Adelaide was one of the gutsiest Maroons performances. There were injuries to second-rower Tom Gilbert (dislocated shoulder) and winger Selwyn Cobbo (hip) that forced them off, while second-rower David Fifita and winger Murray Taulagi were both concussed. Prop Tom Flegler was sin-binned but they still found a way to score two late tries when he was off to prevail.
Slater was proud of his men after the game but not entirely satisfied.
"We didn't play overly smart at times. I won't use the word that I probably used in the coach's box, but yeah, not overly smart at times," he said.
When asked what he thought Slater meant by those words Munster pointed to Queensland's great start, where they led 10-0, and storming finish as keys to victory. What happened in between he was not so happy about.
"We played really good footy the first 20 or 30 minutes and then fell off the bandwagon for a while," Munster said.
"When we fell behind we decided to play footy again. We need to play our style of footy for the whole 80 and not flit in and out of the game.
"That's something I need to work on."
Munster was still exceptional in the win, setting up a try for Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow with a pinpoint grubber and scoring the match sealer at the end after prop Lindsay Collins leapt high to catch a bomb.
Despite not being perfect, Munster said the victory was a boost to the side's unshakeable belief that they can cope with any adversity.
"That is massive win for us," Munster said.
"To be down to 12 players with seven minutes to go and still win, it just shows the fight the boys have. We just need to show it in game two and three and keep working hard for each other because NSW are going to come at us.
"We have this never give up attitude but what we did shows how much talent we have got in this team as well. If we can do the little things well, and keep doing them together as a group, then it is going to be a great series. If we don't it will be a terrible series.
"We go to Brisbane now for game two and will get our cohesion and morale going again."
