CAPTAIN MURRAY TO PLAY IT SAFE WITH COMEBACK PLAN
THE lure of taking down the man he replaced as South Sydney captain isn’t enough for Cameron Murray to declare he’ll e’ll be fit for the opening round. nd.
The Rabbitohs have drawn a firstup clash with the Broncos on March 11 – a marketer’s dream with former Souths halfback and captain Adam Reynolds making his club debut for Brisbane.
On the recovery trail from shoulder reconstructive surgery, Murray has declared he won’t put his health at risk simply due to the excitement of captaining the Rabbitohs for the first time. “It was a full shoulder reco. A pretty serious operation,’’ Murray said. “There still are question marks whether I‘ll be able to get back for round 1. I knew that I was always going to be racing the clock and needed to stay disciplined with my rehab, but not push my rehab too far at the same time.”
A South Sydney junior from the Mascot Jets club, Murray has only ever known South Sydney. He captained South Sydney’s Harold Matthews Cup and SG Ball Cup sides and shakes his head with pride when you rattle the names of previous Rabbitohs skippers.
