But that would be competition from people with the talent and brains to challenge them. Unfortunately Murphy falls well short on the latter and, in my opinion, always has. He has talent but just has never really utilised it effectively and regularly due to poor decision making!!!
Personally...
It's not necessarily 4 wingers in the 18 but four in the 25. Why would you name two specialist wingers on your subs bench? Brown is more versatile as is the Greyhound. I'd even put Rosenior ahead of Murphy.
He's forth in the pecking order and probably quite a distance from the guy in third! Not exactly sure what you saw last night that might encourage him to think he might break into the squad!!
I think there are some posters that just think it's about enjoying the ride and what will be will be. I doubt TB has the same attitude and he is clearly willing to spend reasonable amounts to ensure we have a fighting chance of being here next year.
Sorry but he does not turn a match with the drop of his shoulder. How many examples can you think of? Everyone refers to the Reading game but what else?
No pressure in training.
I agree with the comment that he's better than he believes he is but he has to change that and with new arrivals he might not get the chance.
