North Queensland coach Graham Murray has quit the NRL club.

Told at the start of 2008 this would be his final year at the club, Murray informed club officials of his resignation on Monday morning.

"It's not the way I wanted to leave," he said at a press conference in Townsville.

"I'm not bitter about it and once upon a time I did say I would walk away.

"But this is about the club, it's not about the individual, this is about trying to get this club back on track.

"And the best interest of the club is for me to resign."

Last Saturday's loss to Manly was the club's fourth in succession and leaves last year's preliminary finalists second last on the NRL table.
