South Sydney Rabbitohs' skipper, Cameron Murray, is set to plead his case with the NRL to have his final game suspension served during the upcoming Prime Minister's XIII showdown.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Murray, who recently contested a judiciary decision in hopes of downgrading a high tackle on Newcastle Knights' Tyson Frizell, is facing a three-game ban.
While two matches will be during the NRL season, with the Rabbitohs falling to the Penrith Panthers and soon facing the Sydney Roosters, Murray is aiming to have the final game counted during the Pacific Championships warm-up game, likely against Papua New Guinea.
This move, to be presented to NRL judiciary chairman Geoff Bellew, would allow Murray to potentially avoid missing a crucial Kangaroos fixture.
The potential warm-up fixture against Papua New Guinea holds sentimental value for Murray, as he participated in the match last year.
This strategic move could see Murray back on the field sooner than expected, as he navigates the challenges of professional rugby league with finesse and determination.
