aaron murphy : Sun Apr 20, 2014 9:49 am  

didn't let us down last year once he had displaced luke george, started ok this season and i think most of us agree that he was unlucky to lose his place to broughton, who has done ok for me, but he has proven again, especially on friday that he surely can't be dropped again. he doesn't look like a typical modern day rugby league player but he is strong in attack and defence, good positional sense and has plenty of pace even though he looks like he can't walk at times and is brilliant at backing up breaks, worked very well with wardle down our left edge.

looking at his stats from friday

3 tries
3 tackle busts
2 clean breaks
17 carries
175 metres ( avg 10.29 per carry)

pretty good stats and shows his value for the team.
i would be disappointed if he was to be dropped again once broughton was back.

The lads stats cannot be ignored! And can cover both Centre, both wings and full back! Great squad player who is underrated

100% agree. In the few games he's played this year he has been our best player IMO.

Good Wakefield youth system product is Aaron, wish we could get him back!

Re: aaron murphy : Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:53 pm  

maybe you will get him back one day when he's not good enough for us anymore

Re: aaron murphy : Sun Apr 20, 2014 12:54 pm  

Superb player, a real asset to us and i hope he doesn't get dropped, one of the best players we have !

Re: aaron murphy : Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:56 pm  

should keep his place in the team, broughton has done well when he has come in too though...maybe its jerry that needs to be dropped?

such a good player to have at the club is murphy, wing, centre, full back you name it he can do it.

thought we signed him to be our next full back but he was injured at the time pre season and grix got the chance to stake his claim first.

Re: aaron murphy : Sun Apr 20, 2014 4:10 pm  

to be fair to jerry he can always be relied upon to make good yards and get us on the front foot,although his defence isn't as good as it should be and he does get a bit carried away when playing the ball, i don't think it would be fair to drop him either.
cudjoe hasn't hit the heights we know he can but he is still a dangerous player and carries the ball well,always capable of breaking the line and defensively sound.
so if it was up to me then broughton will have to win his place back,although he hasn't done much wrong either,i just feel that we can't drop murphy again.

Isn't this what we need Meast players competing for their places?
