Best possible squad (using our roster - no injuries)

[m1c]

McCullough is one of the best young players running around in the country... not many 19 year olds that can play 80 minutes in number 9. Probably the most demanding position in the game. Have some faith people.

He's got all the skills, just wish his dummyhalf service was faster.

In fairness to him he hasn't been playing the position all that long. His pass will certainly develop as time goes on. I'd say this season he is a little restricted with his chest injury. The pec major is a prime mover when it comes to passing a football - with forward shoulder flexion and medial rotation of the upper arm - especially off the ground. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think he's gone the full 80 for us since he initially damaged it?

Agree with many on here that the competition Hunt is now providing can only be a good thing. I was fairly against him being in the 17 at the start of the year but feel that he can certainly offer something coming off the bench if the medical staff feel that Macca isn't up to the full 80. It seems like the type of injury that will have to be managed throughout the season.

And the good thing is with Hunt on the bench we don't have 2 hookers in the 17, we have a utility who can also cover half/five-eighth should any injuries occur there. I know some argue about having a utility/back on the bench, but I think it's fine given the Broncos' back row can almost all play 80 minutes (Thaiday, Te'o, Parker). The need for 4 forwards is less than it has been in previous years.

Ain't that sexy, Thaiday, Te'o and Parker together?

In a disabled toilet?

Sorry, bad joke.

Oh no you didn't!

McCullough is a great prospect, especially when you consider the fact he's only started playing hooker 2 years ago.

He looked really good against the Cowboys...and then the Raiders game happened and his involvement was reduced to one decent scoot a game.
