Do you think Murphy is doing enough to hold his place in the team?
That’s not a loaded question, I have mixed views on the subject but on balance I would leave him in the side (for now). I know I’m in the minority.
I agree ABNS. Murphy is the polarising conundrum for most supporters. Some are ambivalent whilst others are absolute in their opposition.
Personally, I think he holds his spot at the moment because no one
else is demanding that spot. For all his deficiencies, he is our best inside 50 kick and we're very short on that currently. I also believe he is offering more than Gibbons at the moment. Gibbo works harder but his disposal has been poor this year IMHO.
Thanks for responding BV. Murphy has become like a pantomime villain around here. I’m pretty sure some posters think he caused COVID.
Just stating the facts Abns
12 possessions 43% efficiency.
Putting him in the midfield won't change anything. He was there for first couple rounds. The MC moved him for obvious reasons to all. He wouldn't lay a tackle. Excuse from his excusors is his shoulders are shot from the sacrifices he has made for the club. Imo that makes him a hasbeen.
I strongly believe he will start to tackle after he gets to 300 games. He is imo blatantly in self preservation mode to get to the milestone.
I'm not against that, but I'm not going to avoid mentioning what I am seeing, and you and BV.
The cupboard is bare. Don't paint him as a hero in 2021 and the inventor of the coved vaccine
