Murph is all class and with a bit of mongrel. Run to his opponent and then bash through him because he loves it that way conjures up thoughts of Ashman or Johnno
Gibbs is as much class but reminds me more of Motley and Marcou and Rhysy
Very interesting odnb.
Every time I see Gibbs move on the field I can't help think of Motley. It's not just the 80's hairstyle (Adelaide thing), it's the balance. the precision, ambidexrous by nature and really good hands...even jumps and lands like him. Like him? Like him alot.
Murphy reminds me of a small player of the past. With your description (mongrel) I would have thought Jim Buckley. But the way his pistons work is not like Buckley, Buckley had a smoother running style, but his determination and guts and hands and vision is...I liken his ability to a cross of Buckley/Sheldon/ Johnston.
Does that make Murphs 3 times the player?
