Queensland cop brutal Cameron Munster blow after Origin loss

Queensland will be sweating on the fitness of Melbourne Storm star Cameron Munster after post-match State of Origin photos showed he had injured his shoulder during the Blues' runaway victory.

The man of the match in Game II, Munster was helpless during the Blues' onslaught in Perth after a brutal 44-12 loss.

'WHAT A JOKE': Queensland fans rage over State of Origin 'disgrace'

NSW halfback Nathan Cleary outshone Munster and returned serve to his critics after a masterclass.

Cleary looked different player as he set up two tries, scored two of his own and nailed a perfect eight from eight goals.

The dominant victory followed Queensland's 16-10 win in the series opener in Sydney, with NSW now chasing a win in Brisbane to seal the series from 1-0 for just the fourth time.

However, the Maroons will be hoping their star halfback can overcome an injury and duel it out with Cleary at Suncorp.

Locker room footage showed Munster with ice on his left shoulder.

And Munster admitted he wasn't able to exert himself the same after hurting his shoulder.

"I was a bit of a passenger out there (after the injury)," Munster said.

"My body's not holding up as good as I'd like it to be, but fingers crossed I can get myself right.

"I'll get a scan ... and we'll go from there."

Queensland will also need to monitor Kalyn Ponga, who was taken from the ground in the final 10 minutes for a HIA caused by contact from Nathan Cleary that was reported.

If Munster isn't fit to play it could pave the way for North Queensland playmaker Tom Dearden's debut, or the versatile Ben Hunt could be shifted from hooker to partner Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves.

Cameron Munster laments Queensland performance

"Everything (went wrong) by the looks of it, a bit of a flogging," Munster said.

"We matched it in the first half, felt we were the better side, but momentum changed and their little moments turned into big moments."

Cleary scored twice and set up two tries, while his in-game kicking tormented Queensland's young wingers Murray Taulagi and Selwyn Cobbo.

"In the first game he wasn't up to par for himself, is what he said, and obviously proved his critics wrong," Munster said.

"He's a good quality player ... but we made him look good.

"We gave him too much time and space and someone like that, nine times out of 10 they'll take their opportunity."
