Class, there aren't many players in the league who score that 2nd try. It was very Tom Johnstone esque.

After getting caught by Mamo in the first half I didn’t expect him to round him like he did for the full length effort.

He timed his evasive jump to perfection.

He’s a very exciting prospect who is only going to get better the more he plays.

The first time he didn't lift his legs the second time he learned, this lad is more than replacing Tom I'd say it got it to be better than him just in fitness.
we need a better contract on this lad

Tbf to Murphy the bounce of the ball of the first run where Mamo caught him was really low and awkward, thought he did phenomenal to take it so cleanly. That slowed him down, if it was a fortunate bounce and clean take I think he’d of skinned Mamo first up. The second try I’ve seen him score a few like that in the academy, with one at Sandal RU against Warrington academy being a peach too. Nice to see him doing it in the big boy league.

I’d say his defence is far superior to Johnstones at this stage. He’s made some big plays already. Big try saving tackle on Faraimo just before half time.

Spot on bounce of ball did slow him down ,also agree about is tackling. Looks like a great prospect

I think Kershaw too needs praise. First SL game back after an ACL injury, looked really strong and quick, kept Olpherts quiet. Good lad

Agreed, made good meters and perhaps one small error , not sure, but a great return.
