St George Illawarra wants more depth at dummy-half for next year with coach Anthony Griffin to tackle Andrew McCullough's future in the off-season. McCullough's career has come under the spotlight in the past week, with suggestions the 32-year-old could retire with a year to run on his Dragons deal. The Dragons' lack of depth in the position has become evident this year with Moses Mbye starting four games at dummy-half in the middle of the season. The Saints missed out on the signature of Sam Verrills this week, leaving Jake Turpin as the best hooker left on the market. "Andrew has had a great year, he's been great for us over the past few years," Griffin said. "His future is again something that is for after the season finishes. "We definitely want to add some depth into that position. That's our plan." Griffin also said Ben Hunt's future was a matter for the off-season, with the club's captain off contract at the end of 2023. Hunt could theoretically shift to hooker long-term with Jayden Sullivan a rising playmaker, but the Maroons star is favourite for the Dally M playing at No.7 this year. For now, Griffin's focus remains on the next month and the belief the Saints can still make finals.
