Rabbitohs Captain Murray Eyes Shock Return Despite Injury Woes
25 Jul
Summary
- Cameron Murray, Rabbitohs captain, is nearing a return despite the team's finals hopes being gone
- Murray ruptured his Achilles earlier this year, one of the worst injury tolls in Rabbitohs history
- Head coach Wayne Bennett says Murray has done a "remarkable job" with his recovery
Despite South Sydney's finals hopes having long since vanished, Rabbitohs captain Cameron Murray is making a determined push to return to the field before the season concludes. The 26-year-old star lock has been sidelined since rupturing his Achilles earlier in the year, an injury that headlined one of the worst injury tolls in Rabbitohs history.
However, with six weeks still left in the regular season, Murray is now back in full training and eager to get back on the pitch. Head coach Wayne Bennett has praised the player's exceptional work ethic during his rehabilitation, stating that if it's important for Murray to play a couple of games at the end of the season, he will be allowed to do so.
While the Rabbitohs' finals hopes have long since vanished, Murray's potential return could still have significant implications. A successful comeback could even see the star forward earn a call-up for the Kangaroos' end-of-season Ashes series, with new coach Kevin Walters keeping a close eye on Murray's progress.
