Despite Munster's dismissive response, there is no doubt that the Storm players will be using Smith's comments as motivation heading into their do-or-die final against the Roosters.
They are determined to prove their former teammate wrong and show that they are capable of bouncing back from their disappointing performance against Brisbane.
As Munster stated, the Storm players have a strong bond and a deep sense of pride in their club.
They will not let one bad game define them.
They know that they have the talent and the ability to turn their form around and make a strong push in the finals.
Smith's comments may have been intended as a dig at his former club, but instead, they have only served to unite the Storm players and fuel their determination to succeed.
Come Friday night, the Storm players will be out to prove a point and show that they are a force to be reckoned with.
