It`s as good as a done deal accoriding to JM on radio. Has anyone seen him play on premier sports or in the flesh? Can someone enlighten me to his strengths/weaknesses. Apparantly he played Aussie schoolboy with Dobbo and they were both phenomonal. Glad we are going for a young oversees than someone like Lockyer/Kimmorley.........(well maybe Lockyer would do I suppose)

Oh and who do ya think was the other 6`s we were in "deep conversation" with!

Paul Cooke

A friend of mine has seen him on dvd, apparently he is like sh...t of a stick, very quick and has a good football brain.
he may not have scored a bagfull of tries last season but if you have played for Australia at schoolboy level then your no mug, i believe once he settles in along side dobbo we could have a very good partnership there for some time to come, he is only 23 years old which if i'm not mistaken is the same age as dobbo also.

From what I hear he's more the distributor that the runner.

Will the plan be to play Murrell primarily as a hooker then?

Please god no, occasional back up for Hodgson I'll give you.

sureley not scotty better at loose man defo not a hooker...

I hope he is given the role of LF for next season.

He'll do well in super league, with Canterbury signing hodkinson and extending barba be wasn't going to get a look in(not to mention Ben Roberts).

Moving to 6 and super league will give him more time.

In fact they were absolutely awful, England thrashed them.

I remember the game well, the Aussies had Greg Inglis at fullback.
