Evidently Belly Ache thinks Munster isn't a Grub??? He must have missed the three times Munster has lashed out with his feet this year or the two times Munster got sent off in the Grand Final for kicking.

Claims Melbourne five-eighth Cameron Munster is a grubby player have been angrily denied by Storm coach Craig Bellamy.
Munster came under scrutiny after making contact with his knees on NSW captain James Tedesco in Sunday’s second State of Origin match at Suncorp Stadium.
While the Queensland playmaker wasn’t charged, it is the third similar incident involving Munster this year.
He received separate fines for kicking Blues backrower Liam Martin in Origin I and then Warriors fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in consecutive matches.
The incident with Tuivasa-Sheck prompted Bellamy to say Munster “needs to cut that out of his game” but he was less bothered by the collision with Tedesco last Sunday.
“I thought the incident the other day that everyone seemed to be talking about ... he was going for the ball,” Bellamy said.
“Obviously, James was going for the ball as well.
Queensland playmaker Cameron Munster came under scrutiny after making contact with his knees on NSW captain James Tedesco.
“I thought he really tried to pull up actually, he could’ve kept going, which would’ve put James in more danger.
“He is a competitive monster, as everyone knows. A couple of times he’s been over the top.
“We all put up our hand to say that and Cameron does as well but I thought the criticism from Sunday night’s game was a little bit unfair.”
The prospect of all four playing looks unlikely, however, with Bellamy admitting he would most likely rest two or three of his Origin stars.
“Coming back, most people were quite happy about that (though).”
