Graig Bellamy has hinted at leaving Melbourne Storm at the end of next season if a position became available at the Titans. I know we tried for him a few years ago and I for one was disappointed when he decided to stay on at the Storm. He might be talking up his next contract up to stay on at the Storm but with the risk of being let down again I would like the club to try one more time. With the good young juniors coming through the ranks coupled with the likes of Widdop, Hunt and Graham under Bellamy's coaching the club would become a real force again. The club would also have a much better chance of keeping the rising talent under Bellamy rather than McGregor.

CRAIG Bellamy says if he were to ever leave Melbourne, he would like to coach at the Gold Coast Titans.
But the Storm’s supercoach thinks his window may have closed with Garth Brennan’s appointment as Titans coach.
The premiership-winning coach was rumoured to have been a target for the Titans after they parted ways with Neil Henry towards the end of last season.
And while he said his contract with the Storm meant his hat was never in the ring to replace Henry, Bellamy said the Titans appealed as a club he would like to be involved with.
“I think the Gold Coast — as someone from the outside looking in — is a great place to base a sporting team in a competition like the NRL,” Bellamy said.
“Certainly if I was to ever change clubs as a coach, the Gold Coast would be a place of interest for me.
“But I have another year to go here, the Titans have just appointed a new coach, and I genuinely hope he does well. So me coaching up there is probably unlikely to happen now”.
Bellamy and the Storm will square off against Brennan’s new-look Titans at the Suncorp Stadium double-header on Saturday, May 12.
The double-header, which will also feature a clash between the Broncos and Manly, has become one of the feature events on the footy calendar and will again be the showcase match of the NRL’s indigenous Round.
Tickets go on sale on Monday, and until December 15 fans can purchase seats at “early bird” prices starting at $14.70 for juniors and $36.55 for adults.
Suncorp Stadium General Manager Alan Graham said fans who purchase tickets during the “early bird” window would also go into the running to win a 2018 Double-header VIP Experience.
In Melbourne’s all-conquering 2017 season, the Storm only lost on four occasions — and one of those was an unexpected 38-36 loss to the Titans at Suncorp.
“I am not a big fan of taking a home game away, I have to say,” Bellamy said. “But if we do have to take a home game away, I am glad that we are taking it Suncorp Stadium.
“The double-header is a great concept because it creates a real big-match atmosphere. There is a real fondness in our team for Suncorp. It’s something we look forward to every year.”

ALMOST: Titans in the verge of sale
PAY RISE: Winds of change sweep over Test footy
One thing Bellamy won’t have to plan for in his preparations for the Titans match next year is Jarryd Hayne, who officially quit the Titans to rejoin Parramatta during the week.
“I don’t like to make comments about what is happening at another club and their players. But I will say, I find the whole thing to be a real shame to see it play out the way it did,” he said.
“It turned out to be quite a devastating time for a couple of guys there. Neil Henry is gone, and now Jarryd is gone.
“Everyone lost out of the whole saga, and the biggest loser has been the Titans because they did what they thought was right, and at the end of it they lost their coach and their marquee player.
“It got to the stage where one of them had to go, and now they are both gone and the club has to start again.”
