What happened re the 82 team? Why did it not go on for a few years?
Murphy was a master of getting the best out of honest hard working players.
Whilst we had a great backline of Drummond, Woods, Donlan, Fox, and a nowty little bugger called Kenny Green at scrum half, the forwards were simply a pack of hard local blokes who would run and run all day for him.
Collectivly there wasnt a better pack in the division, but individually (whilst Cook, Tabern, Potter were quality players) they were not world beaters.
Once Murphy left the momentum was lost, folk left or retired in the following years and within a a few years we were in the 2nd division.
