Agbrigg Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 There is all kinds of speculation surrounding this at the moment. If he has picked up another injury again , then it really makes you wonder if his body can take it much longer. On the otherhand there is plenty of speculation that other factors may be at play. Whichever way its bad news for Trin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players with constant niggles will figure it out and stay on the field at other clubs and vice versa. Not saying this is 100% the case at Wakefield but it does happen in a lot of sports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

LlanWests Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I wonder if its to do with his running style? Maybe he strides out too much, maybe he needs to cut his stride length down and push behind him more, more like Papenhuyzen. 1 Newcastle Knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few posts on twitter - Murphy is better etc. It is the same with every club it seems when they lose a player. Raiders fans slagging off Batemen is a good example saying Hudson Young was better.

I think its fair to say right now Murphy isnt better, however the way he is developing i also think its fair to say he could soon be equally as good.

He is a great prospect but some fans are so fickle when it comes to a player moving on - that's not just Wakefield. Johnstone has been loyal to Wakefield for a long time and probably has taken unders to stay at his hometown club for last few years. His stats and highlights reel are pretty amazing. I think Murphy will be looked at by a number of clubs here and in the NRL already. They need to upgrade his contract and pay him what he's worth as a priority if they want to retain him.

Maybe he strides out too much, maybe he needs to cut his stride length down and push behind him more, more like Papenhuyzen. In short, I would doubt it. Pushing more behind him is actually what you don't want (for top speed sprinting mechanics anyway) - pushing out more on the backside means the foot then swings round to strike further in front of the centre of mass - not only is this less effective for sprinting (longer ground contact time and therefore slower speeds), it also places more stress on the hamstrings (and surrounding muscles) in a lengthened position and therefore is more likely to lead to hamstring strains. Good visual example here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstone has been loyal to Wakefield for a long time and probably has taken unders to stay at his hometown club for last few years. Think you are being a tad unfair there Scubby. Wakefield have xtuck by the lad through two extremly long injury lay off's . Both were serious and could have easily ended his career. It was a huge gamble to take as he may have not come back to being anything like the same player. Some of the so called bigger clubs could habe been far more ruthless and quickly ditched him as a liability and moved on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
