Broncos hooker Andrew McCullough has stolen a line from a Hollywood movie star to quash rumours he will be replaced by Souths rival Damien Cook at Red Hill, declaring: “I’m not leaving”.

McCullough summoned a famous line from the hit movie Wolf of Wall Street when the Broncos rake today broke his silence to address speculation he will be moved on by incoming Souths coach Anthony Seibold.

The Broncos’ No.9 was rocked by a report that Seibold is considering bringing his star hooker Cook - McCullough’s Origin rival - to the Broncos in either 2019 or 2020.

“I don’t where the rumours are coming from but as Leonardo DiCaprio said in Wolf of Wall Street _ ‘I’m not leaving’,” said McCullough, making his first appearance today at Brisbane training after an off-season trip to Africa.

“I’ve dealt with bigger things in my life than worrying about that (speculation Cook will replace him at the Broncos).

“I have another three years here.”

Four years ago, the Broncos launched an audacious, big-money bid for Storm champion Cameron Smith in a move that would have forced McCullough out of the club.

Ultimately, Smith rejected Brisbane’s offer to stay loyal to the Storm, but it was a period that taught McCullough to take nothing for granted in the cut-throat world of NRL recruitment.

McCullough concedes he plays a different style to Cook, a dummy-half attacking dynamo, but says he has felt no need to clarify his future with Broncos hierarchy.

“Not really,” he said.

“I have dealt with this scenario before and, looking back, it was probably a blessing in disguise for me.

“I turned up in the best shape I have been (for the 2015 season after Brisbane’s pursuit of Smith).

“Damien is a different style to me. He has been tremendous, he didn’t get an easy run to get his starting spot in the NRL. Different guys have different abilities, but the lesson is to keep training hard and be the best person you can be.

“Personally, I am my worst critic in the way I want to perform and get better. Different adversities come along, it’s out of my control, but it’s good to be back on day one of training fully fit and I have a few goals this season.”
