Overview

  • Murray has been named on the bench for the Wests Tigers’ Round 14 match against the Penrith Panthers at CommBank Stadium, marking his first NRL appearance.
  • He slots in for prop Alex Twal, who remains sidelined by concussion, and will share bench duties with fellow debutant Kit Laulilii.
  • The 23-year-old Narromine native averaged 100 running metres per game and recorded over 300 tackles at 94.5 percent efficiency across 11 NSW Cup outings this season.
  • Murray paused his finance broking career and earned his shot after a train-and-trial stint with the Tigers following spells in Gold Coast and Melbourne systems.
  • Having played close to 70 NSW Cup games before his call-up, he credits his family’s support for helping him persevere on his journey to first grade.
