2018 NRL Side

I want to know, which games are you watching. Walters, Meninga and Bennett and literally every other commentator always speak about him as second to Smith. He is so well rounded, in my opinion he is the perfect hooker for the broncos, I'd only want C Smith instead of him, no one else.

Haven’t you heard. Those guys are always right, unless their opinion disagrees with yours.
 
When McCullough was injured most commentators agreed it was the end of the Broncos premiership hopes. Enough said.
And it was, our defence went to shit, Eels piled on 50 on us but... but aye atleast we scored 30 points that game, because our attack was so good with Hunt at Hooker! Haha!
 
Ooooh a Macca argument. We haven't done this one in a while. Perfect for the off-season now that Ash Taylor isn't coming back.

Don't you dare mention he who must not be named (Taylor) I'm probably the biggest fan of Macca, he was really building and that's why he got named in the Queensland squad. He was starting to really show his running game before he went down too.
 
You’re kidding.

Bloke played busted and you call him a pea heart.

We played better without Macca.

Macca only plays well when he’s a chance of getting the flick (ie when he has serious competition for his spot).

He’s not captain material.

He’s certainly not the heart and soul of the team.
The bolded is absolute horse shit that’s been spouted on here time and time again. Nah you’re right, Macca intentionally plays poorly and only try’s to win when it’s contract time.

Ash Taylor is the next cooper cronk
 
If not for McCullough, we could have kept Taylor and shifted Hunt to hooker.

1. Boyd
6. Milford
7. Taylor
9. Hunt

Looks good.

I think people may resent him for the fact that we have let so many players with higher potential go in order to maintain his position at hooker.

Ben Hunt
Matt Parcell
Kurt Baptiste
Jake Granville

To name a few
Lol Macca is better than all those players though... Anyone who doesn't think he is the second best hooker in the NRL at the moment doesn't understand the game. Yes Hunt, Parcell and Granville are flashier, but they are incredibly inconsistent and are not genuine 80 minute hookers. To be honest, all those players are more in the Nikorima / Super Sub sort of category than they are genuine hookers. We didn't let Ash Taylor go because of Money. To blame anyone other than Bennett for Ash Taylor leaving is ridiculous. He cooked it. He can say that he wanted Ash to grow and all this crap but if he genuinely thought Ash was going to be a superstar, he wouldn't have released him a year early.

First, the last part of your comment doesn’t reflect what I said.

Second, any honest analysis leads to the conclusion that he only plays well when he isn’t comfortable about his spot.

He probably played at his best when the rumour was that we were signing Smith.

He’s been bog average otherwise.

Smith
Friend
Granville
Hodgson
Farrah

At least are better than him.

Ps he’s had 9 years in first grade, he’s gotten as good as he’s going to get; which is bog average.

Oh wow.

That’s all you’ve got?

Felise Kaufusi has even been 18th man for Qld and he’s not getting a gig any time soon.

Your boy is behind at least Friend for the Hooker role for Qld.

Macca is bog average.

He impedes our attack with his slow and poor service (I’ve never seen a bloke throw the ball behind where he half needs it more than him).

He’s a ball hog. That stupid dummy that fools no one. Cost us the 2015 gf. Parker was under the posts untouched for a 10 point second half lead.

He kicks out on the full more than any person I have ever seen.

Yeah but he can tackle.
 
Give Matt Parcell, Kurt Baptiste or any other player with decent potential 200+ games for the broncos and see how well they develop..

McCullough should have a better understanding of how to win games for his team. Rarely is he the one to stand up and make a big difference from dummy half (like smith does). If I have to watch one of those shitty dummies again, I'll throw my XXXX at the tv.

Jayden Brailey is already making more highlights than Macca has ever had.

You could have used a lot worse examples of 18th man for Queensland then Felise kaifusi the premiership winning 2017 Australian rep player (Martin Kennedy? Edrick Lee?).

Friend is mud. Look at his stats in the finals and most games this season. He is like Robbie Farah, selfish and overrated.

More a case of saying that he’s not going to necessarily be next in line for the job.

But I respectfully adopt the names that you have come up with....

Mate Friend is a better player than Macca.

Simple.

Macca’s only talent is tackling. The Hooker gets his hands on the ball more than anyone so he has to be an attacking threat.

Macca simply isn’t.
