Thats true but those you have mentioned were/are all under different circumstances. Gagai - discipinary reasons, Inu - wanted to return to Sydney, Jennings - attitude issues. I dont believe McCullough wants out or is on the out at the Broncos, although like you said contracts dont mean much these days so who knows.

Bradford centre Adrian Purtell will spend the rest of the week in an English hospital after suffering what the player's mother reported to be a heart attack following a Super League match.
Fran Purtell told southern NSW newspaper the Border Mail that her son, 27, suffered a heart attack just hours after playing for the Bulls in their weekend derby defeat by Leeds in sweltering conditions at Manchester's Etihad Stadium.
The Bulls revealed on Sunday that the former Penrith and Canberra NRL outside back complained of feeling unwell on the journey back from Manchester and the bus stopped twice for the doctor to treat him.

Bradford football manager Stuart Duffy, who was on the bus, said: "Adrian's condition was giving cause for concern and the club doctor Donald Young advised that he should be taken to hospital immediately.
"The bus went to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary where Adrian was detained and he was later transferred to the Leeds General Infirmary where he spent the night.
"Our thoughts are with Adrian at this time."
Leeds issued a statement, saying: "The Rhinos would like to echo those sentiments and hope that Adrian makes a speedy recovery."
Purtell is in his first season in Super League, having joined Bradford on a three-year deal from the Panthers last November.
Duffy said the Bulls were unable to confirm the exact nature of Purtell's illness due to patient confidentiality but the player's mother told the Border Mail that her son had suffered a heart attack.
Fran Purtell said she received a telephone call from the club doctor and immediately made plans to fly to England to be at her son's bedside.
"Adrian had a heart attack," she told the newspaper before boarding a flight to Manchester, via Sydney.
"He had a blockage to one of the main arteries to the heart but he's OK. He's in Leeds hospital and is in good care.
"It was very frightening this morning for everyone."
Purtell's health scare comes just two months after Bolton soccer player Fabrice Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest during an English Premier League match at Tottenham.
Purtell, who started his professional career with the Raiders in 2006, missed a large chunk of the following season due to deep vein thrombosis after a blood clot was found in his lungs.
Purtell has been ordered to spend a minimum five days in hospital and, although a spokesperson declined to make any comment, he is believed to be in a stable condition.
His mother said her son had been feeling unwell for some time.
"He knew something was wrong," she added. "He said he had a sore chest a few weeks ago and was keeping an eye on it. He knew that something was amiss.
"It was hurting on the bus like it had been. The news for now is that he's OK. His heart didn't stop beating at that stage."

He's very lucky to not have suffered the same Heart attack as my wife or Fabrice Muamba the Premier League player who had one on the pitch, in both cases my wife and Fabrice were in intensive care for quite some time and were both at Deaths door for a long time but are OK now, what's scary is that they are all relatively young people, thanks modern medicine!.
