What happened to Queensland in the Origin decider and how did Cam Munster react?

Triple A and footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water. Cam Munster always stands up to it even when his side gets beaten and he's with you, Ben Dobbin. Tough night, mate. Things just didn't go your way tonight as a side.
Cam Munster 0:18
No, they didn't. You look at game one and game two, you know, a couple of moments there and we ended up icing them, you know, and there's a couple in that second half and that first half. The ball just bounced the way of their team. They were better in little areas than ourselves tonight, but I thought our boys tried really hard. That try with Robbie Toya, that kind of went either way.

Which moments and calls does Cam Munster say turned the game against them?

Cam Munster 0:39
Unfortunately, someone was offside, and that's footy. If they give that a try, there's six points in it. There's still 11 minutes to go. We were definitely in the game. We shot ourselves in the foot a fair bit, you know, with our execution, with our ball in hand. And, you know, we gave the ball back to them in nice spots. And when you give a team like that with that much possession, it's going to make you pay.
A couple of calls, and you guys don't want to get bogged down, but even with the Nikara, you know, reversal and stuff like that, you were talking to the referee a lot throughout it. Were you just trying to get some understanding of interpretation?
Cam Munster 1:14
To be completely honest with you, I was pretty surprised and shocked with some of the calls tonight. Not being a victim or anything, but all series there have been either send-offs or there's been some high tackles and stuff. We know when it's a decider, things go. So at the end of the day, that's the decision he made and we're just going to live with it.
You're disappointed, obviously, there's another season.

Why was Munster surprised by refereeing decisions and how did he address the officials?

Can I go about asking, is that your final origin game?
Cam Munster 1:43
Who knows, mate, I'll be honest. I'm not that old, to be fair.
I'm only 32, but at the end of the day, if that's... No, but for yourself, do you want to continue to play if selected?
Cam Munster 1:55
Yeah, of course. I've still got the desire to play for Queensland. It's been a long time since I made my debut here. I think it was 2017. It's been a long trot. There'll be 11 years going on next year. At the end of the day, I've still got a lot to give to this game and a lot to give to this arena and It wasn't my night tonight, and hopefully next year it is.

Is this the end of Cam Munster’s Origin career and does he want to continue?

Cam Munster 2:16
Good on you, Kent. Thank you, thank you.
Well done. There had been some chit-chat apparently, some speculation about whether he'd pull the pin, but listening to that, absolutely not. Surely they're talking about on his own terms. That's right. Yeah, yeah. That's right.

How are media and fans responding to Munster’s comments after the loss?

Yeah, yeah. 100%. Yeah, I don't think he's placed himself. I was going to say, it's aggressive. I was going to say, Queensland media really turn on their own way now. That's aggressive.
