Mccullough , gotta go

[SaintPeter]

The Storm and Cameron Smith showed RL the value of good hooker.
They continue to utilise this today with not one but two great hookers.
Why has SGI not acted as this aspect of the game ??
You just scratch your head and wonder.

Three weeks FMD
Only 3 days for me so far. Terrible headaches, backaches & lethargic but feeling like I’m coming good
Glad to hear you’re coming good CC.

Take it nice and slow pal.

I’m currently recovering from this effin covid but if anyone would like to drive me down to the gong for the captains run I’ll do my best to share it with McCullough
That’s one way to get him out

The recovery rate of Covid is quite good blacksafake. I overcame my bout in a week thank goodness, so good luck to you with your recovery. The only way that we don't see McC for an extended period is if he does his hamstring again but I don't want that to happen to him. Hook needs to re-invent the spine without McC in it.

All the best with Covid, 3 weeks and clear now but are taking antibiotics for a chest infection, so next Monday should be 100%.

All the best CC.

It is the $64M question. Why does Hook persist? It is so obvious that McC isn't the guy we should have at 9. I am totally bamboozled.

Thanks @Dragon David
I’m into my fourth day & feeling much better.
Agree Re McCullough & you certainly don’t wish harm or injury to anyone.

Probably because there’s no real standout to replace him on the club.
We need Sloan or Ramsey at fullback so Mbye can at least cover for him.

Hope your feeling better soon mate.....maybe a win against The Knights would help

Good point, but why did Hook persist with Corey Norman, as useless as he was.....week after week.
I don't know why, McCullough
unfortunately is obviously busted and can't keep up to the rigors of the modern 6 again game. Time to try someone younger, faster with more skills. Hook , I hate to say with the most regret, is past it.....stuck with Norman,
Now McCullough. When they
Where past it. Time to move ,
Hook & McCullough on.

Very true!

Obviously none of us can read Hooks mind and see what his intentions are - otherwise we might have some answers. To keep Norman in the team was a "plan to lose" reason - IMO. Is this the same reason with Hook keeping McC in the team as the hooker when not injured?

 

[Coffs dragon]

I’m still gobsmacked that we can let go of Rein, Reece Robinson & Cam McInnes to then buy Slug McCullough.
All 3 of the above are far better options, even Rein that used to be a forum target.
All for Hook to use the excuse that he has a combination with Hunt, like Norman & the sideline!

Anyone see Cook's three tries yesterday? Chalk and cheese.

 

[Como Connection]

All the best CC.

Ta DD, getting there!

Yes we need a dummyhalf with speed, able to start an attacking movement from the ruck (like Cook).
Hunt to dummyhalf.....Sullivan to halfback.

It's the most logical solution to our spine but with Sloan and Amone in as well.

The guy is a freak. Had a quiet start under a new coach and the media started its usual crap.

Brilliant player and nice bloke.

Given the performances over the past two or three weeks and looking at the team list for the game against Newcastle tomorrow, there is clearly no point in discussing selections for positions, especially hooker. It's truly frustrating and mystifying.

If all players are fit and no suspensions, no need to see the team list because there are no changes. Hook wants consistency - well he does of himself anyway.
