Quote ="no fear"Wow. We've had one other fan on this thread suggest Murphy for full back (I'll omit the username lest his/her opinion is next in your firing line) next year but Brearley gets it both barrels for having the temerity to follow up with the idea that Murphy 'take over the fullback role.' No mention of Grix in his post, only yours. How this comment shows any 'loathing' for Grix is beyond my comprehension.
The general consensus is that Murphy had a great game on Friday - as you yourself acknowledge. And I agree: 131 metres, 7 tackles & no misses, including a fantastic try-saving effort which must be a candidate for tackle of the season, and 2 tackle busts to boot. Granted, I'd like to see more of him at 1 before anointing him our fullback of choice, but he had a chance to stake his claim on Friday and he struck gold.
Connor has rightly been lauded by the fans for another energetic and composed display. Dare I say it, he looks like a young Iestyn Harris. Early days, but what a prospect we appear to have.
I enjoy reading the differing opinions on here, but some topics - or players - appear sacrosanct.'"
taken the words right out of my mouth - cheers!
