Murphy is just not physically capable of running full pace into contests any more.
He's clearly had bad shoulders over a long period of time and either consciously or subconsiously protects himself. He slows down to avoid the potential of contact and is very reluctant to tackle most of the time.
I'm not whinging about it (any more) but accepted it a long time ago... it does still make you cringe when you see it though.
And the question is - can you be a successful club with players playing like that in the team?
