St George Illawarra hooker Andrew McCullough will join the NRL's 300 club on Thursday night when his Dragons host South Sydney in Wollongong. The intriguing encounter pits the seventh-ranked Rabbitohs against the hot-and-cold Dragons, and McCullough's accolades could inspire his side to a much-needed win as he becomes the 44th player to appear in 300 NRL games. "In a weird way, setbacks and certain injuries gave me perspective on the drive to come back, different hurdles to overcome," he told reporters. "At the you're just coming in and out of the ground happy to be there, it's a blessing each week to be in the team and you just enjoy it for what it is. "After a little while you get more professional and realise what it takes to be a first-grader. "I wasn't searching for numbers or goals, in fact I like training, like going out with the boys and I enjoy a good time ... that helps stay in the game for a bit longer." "It's just about accumulating the two points at the moment," he said on Wednesday. "I know there's an opportunity to win three in a row for the first time this year and show some consistency in our performances. "I've felt we've been pretty consistent in our last two games and the challenge for us is to go down to Wollongong on a Thursday night."
