Murray to learn Origin fate tomorrow

Incumbent New South Wales rugby league coach Graham Murray is expected to receive the green light to re-apply for the Blues Origin job by his club North Queensland tomorrow.

Cowboys chief executive Peter Parr says the North Queensland board has discussed whether to let Murray declare his Origin availability and would make an announcement in Townsville tomorrow.

Speculation is rife that Murray will be given the all clear to contest his second Origin series. New South Wales lost this year's series 2-1, its first defeat to Queensland in four years.
