Murphy is everything you want out of your modern day second rower. The ability to back up your prop forwards and make good, uncompromising metres forward, and to defend hard, and that is everything that Murphy has to offer. Hailing from rugby town Warrington he started out his career at Burtonwood Bulldogs, he is able to cover loose forward, as well as centre.

The comparisons from Westwood are mostly down to both players loving to get involved in the defensive side of the game, and ruffing the opponents up. Both hit hard in defence, and put in a good shift in attack as well, making the metres to get the team down field.
