Wayne Bennett may execute one of the most unusual selection calls of the year, with veteran Sam Thaiday a possibility to cover for Andrew McCullough.

The Broncos are looking to charge towards the finals and hold on to their spot in the upper bracket of the top eight.

The loss of McCullough is costly at this time of year, with only five rounds remaining.

While Ben Hunt has been largely touted to assume the mantle at hooker, Thaiday was spotted relieving him in training and could make an appearance from the bench at hooker.

“Sam knows how the team plays and he has a lot of experience," teammate Korbin Sims said, reports couriermail.com.au.

“He has a crisp pass which he would be able to use out of dummy-half.

“We’ve got a good system here where if one player slots out, another slots straight back in. They know their role and what to do.”
