I have to disagree. He is getting games because he is the best available for his spot. Just like Nathan Jones at Melbourne, when some kid is good enough to take Murphy's spot, that kid will get his chance. It could be next week, next month. next year. I simply don't believe he is being gifted games. He gets games because he deserves them. Murphy is still highly regarded by people in the know. Only a few weeks ago, Ross Lyon was waxing lyrical about how highly he rates him.
