Murphy's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging close to nine per match across 14 appearances, with a single-game peak of 19, he is a consistent defensive workhorse at the breakdown and in open play. His carrying role is measured rather than explosive, contributing reliably with ball in hand without dominating possession statistics. The combination points to a flanker used primarily to secure and protect, doing the unglamorous work that keeps a forward pack functioning.
