If looks could kill, Maroons superstar Cameron Munster wouldn’t be playing in Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Munster dropped a cheeky sledge on Blues assistant coach Andrew Johns at the end of a live TV interview on Sunday.

Queensland assistant coach Johnathan Thurston and Munster were being interviewed on The Footy Show when presenter Danika Mason thanked the pair for the interview.

Munster then took the opportunity to fire a shot at the New South Wales legend Johns who was on the show’s panel.

“Thanks guys. Joey, have you made up with your brother yet?” Munster said.

The comment triggered raucous laughter from Thurston and Mason before the cameras panned to show Johns’ ice-cold response.

Johns death stared down the barrel of the camera before Mason said “do you want to answer, they’ve always got to say something, don’t they”.

Johns was then heard muttering: “What brother?”

The gag was in reference to the ongoing public feud between brothers Andrew and Matty Johns who are reportedly not talking over an Origin debate they had on-air.

Andrew was left filthy with Matty’s praise of Maroons coach Billy Slater on the SEN Radio show which the brothers host on Fridays.

Matty described Slater as “almost the best coach in the game” in the lead up to Game 1.

“You just know how he explains, how he coaches, the intricacies, the players absolutely love him,” Matty said.

“Queensland know exactly how they’re going to play and who they need to pick to make that happen.”

NSW attack coach Andrew snapped back “and NSW don’t know how they’re going to play?” to which Matty said “no, they don’t” — which really riled up his brother.

“Mate, I’m sick of you rapping Queensland, that’s what I’m sick of.

“I’m sick of you (pumping up) Queensland. Keep blowing hot air up their ar*es.”

NSW lost Game 1 and Andrew has reportedly quit the station over the incident which Matty addressed on air last Friday.

“I’ve just heard through the grapevine that basically he’s said to people that next time he sees me, he’s going to take my head off,” Matty said.

“Well, I just hope he’s learned to fight as opposed to the last time we had a little going over. No, I haven’t heard from him.”
