I've only listened to the ATC feed once. As I recall, QF 74 asked to taxi clear of the runway, to the apron for inspection before continuing to the bay.

I thought it OTT that a message would be passed from the company, seemingly early in the sequence of events, asking for details. ('Hey Skip, want me to do a wing walk to see what the problem is?') I'd have though that the tech crew would pass on relevant information at their earliest convenience.
