South Sydney Origin stars Cameron Murray and Damien Cook believe teammate Campbell Graham’s work rate and resilience makes him ideally suited for a place in the Blues squad.
Graham has the rare distinction of playing for Australia before playing for NSW after receiving a surprise call-up in last year’s World Cup, and Murray and Cook insist he is ready for the Origin arena.
Murray declared Graham “built for Origin”, while Cook praised him for doing the “dirty work” that other players appreciate by taking tough carries near his ow line, as well as being a strong defender and good under the high ball.©Bernard Platt/NRL Photos “He is so good at supporting his team-mates, rucking it out and then taking the next carry in the worst possible places on the field; coming off your own line when they all know you are getting the ball and they are flying off the line to bash you.
