State of Origin commentator Mat Thompson has declared Cameron Munster “the best player in the game”. 

The five-eighth made a spectacular showing at this year’s Origin series opener, leading the Maroons to a 16-10 victory.

Neil Breen: “Cameron Munster was off the charts. Geez we had some heroes.

Mat Thompson: “Well, just on Munster, I mean, I spoke to Billy in the lead-up and asked him if he’s in the best form of his career.

“He said, “Well, maybe, but he’s certainly in the best personal shape of his career’.

“He’s probably, Neil, the best player in the game when he’s on and he mesmerised NSW last night.

“He’s got this amazing thing where he just stops dead with the ball and the defence stops-

Both: “And then he takes off!”
