Ep 41 Mark Murray

Welcome to the FOGS Queenslander Podcast Episode 41!

Featuring FOG #22 Mark Murray
Hosted by Mark Braybrook

In this episode, we sit down with one of Queensland’s earliest State of Origin pioneers — Mark Murray, FOG #22. A smart and skilful halfback, Murray was a mainstay of the Maroons through the early 1980s and proudly represented Australia in six Test matches.

Born in Brisbane, Mark played over 100 first-grade games for Norths, Valleys, and Redcliffe, before transitioning into a successful coaching career that included stints at Redcliffe, Eastern Suburbs, the Melbourne Storm, and even coaching Queensland at Origin level.

In this episode, Mark reflects on:

• The early years of the Origin concept and what it meant to be part of it
• Representing Australia during the golden era of international footy
• Life after playing — the highs and pressures of NRL and Origin coaching
• How the game has evolved and his insights into today’s generation

A true thinker of the game, Mark shares stories from the field and the coach’s box, offering a rare look at Queensland rugby league through both lenses.
