“Do you reckon your old skipper would have let you get away with that hair?” Nine’s James Bracey asked Brandon, who’s sporting a bleached-blond hairdo.

“Probably not, to be honest. He would have been jealous,” Smith quipped to a barrel of laughs.

Cameron: “Very jealous”.

Brandon: “There’s a lot of hair still around here… it looks like it’s making a comeback, actually”.

Cameron: “Hey, Cheesey, Cheesey. That was a punishment, wasn’t it, mate?”.

Brandon: “Yeah, yeah, definitely. Me and (Cameron) Munster were 30 seconds late to a meeting. You know how the boys carry on, and you’ve got to roll a dice”.

Cameron: “All the viewers, let’s get one thing straight: that’s not by choice”.

Smith: “Do you reckon I look the grouse, or what?”.

Bracey chimed in with a compliment for the Storm ace, who’s set to depart for the Roosters at the end of the season.

“You always look the grouse, Cheese,” Bracey said.

Cameron wasn’t as kind.

“I like the natural colour, mate. Go back to the brown,” Cameron said.

Brandon: “Thanks, man. I reckon you and Locky (Darren Lockyer) have been hanging out”.

The Nine panel erupted in laughter.
