Mccullough has a 150 game plus combination with the lilely halfback (hunt), amd plays 80 minutes and has been in better form this year. In fact for every year bar possibly 1 year he has been. Every good judge also thinks it will be mccullough. Ive only heard 2 terrible judges in gasnier and tallis say different names (they said dce or hunt so even they couldnt pretend granville was a better option)).
I get there is a strong anti-mccullough theme in broncos-hq but the support he is getting from every single person who is in a position to warrant listening too surely puts to bed this notion that mccullough is below average. He is a great hooker, he isnt cameron smith of course but he is a great hooker...

Way to read into something ! Talk about strong defence !

Moga isn't with the club anymore and luckily he isn't as you have three outside backs on the bench and the only forward you have named is useless old Tagasleazy. What in tarnation were you thinking?

Sorry I meant Mago!!! Mago and Taga are our 2 props and Staggs our second row with Oppa as back up back. That’s the way we have lined up like all year with that style of bench.

You want skinny little Staggs in the second row? Surely this is goldarn gee up.

 

[Rhino1001]

Any chance of Carrigan this round?

Staggs wouldn't be the only player his size to play in the forwards.

He looks to be the same size as Peachey. I don't see the issue.

 

[Unbreakable]

He looks to be the same size as Peachey. I don't see the issue.

Very similar apparently, both according to the club websites -

Peachey - 183cm / 93kg
Staggs - 185cm / 92kg

Million to one he will be picked as a secondrower.

James Roberts showed against the Roosters why he shouldn't be on the wing.

He doesn't score that try if he is stuck out on the wing. Instead, it's someone else that grabs that ball and no one else in the side has the ability to score a try like that.

Ok what if Bird is in though who drops out.

 

[Super Freak]

Bird is out for 6 weeks.

If he somehow comes back, Opacic is dropped to the bench and Staggs back to QLD Cup.

I thought it was only recommended that Bird sit out 6 weeks [emoji848]
