I am not too sure why a Bristol fan would be so interested in this story. ....unless having a bit of fun 😁

Murphy to DOR is what a lot of people have been looking for, his skill set will suit that position better. I see it working much as Humphreys and Ackerman do at Gloucester.

Great how some posters can always see negatives from such a big positive

Unfortunately, people can’t see the massive advantage of having Murphy, who spent so long at the club as a player and knows it inside out and better than most or even all of us, at the club.

Indeed - some people are never happy seemingly!

For me, this is great news - another positive step in our (long) road back to .. well ... let's say 'adequacy' for now shall we?
