Craig Bellamy to the Dragons

[innsaneink]

Would be interesting to see how Bellamy goes without Smith, Cronk, Slater.

Just as interesting to see how Melb go without Martina

I know it wouldn't happen, but in that article it mentioned Cameron Smith as a possibility for a captain/coach role.

How would that come under the salary cap? Does he get paid shitloads more money/boats to be the coach as well?

This is why poor old NRL clubs need more cash. So they can throw it away in desperate attempts to win premierships.

The irony....lol

He will stay with Melbourne. I'd love him to come coach St George, but it is very unlikely.

 

[DJShaksta]

Good luck to the dragons if they get him. But being serious he hasn't done anything without his superstar 3 or 4 players, ever.
I doubt he fills the stereotypical coaching role at Melbourne anyway. It all comes down to Cameron Smith reading what's in front of him and Cronk doing the same, with Slater chiming in all over the place.
Without those 3 I reckon he'd be very average.

The only club that could pry Bellamy away from Melbourne are the Drongos, the rest are purely being used as leverage.

Saw Bellamy two weeks ago looking at a house in Port Kembla with his manager Khoder Nasser.

No way he will go the Dragons,Bellamy looks like he will die of stress every week even when coaching the Storm and 3 of the best players of the modern era,imagine if he coached the Dragons he would die of stress within 5 days

Hey, try supporting them your whole life! lol

Hmmm, I reckon he's leveraging us for more money, and I'd be more confident if it was anyone but Rothfield writing it.

It all comes down to facilities. Simple as that.

He's got a massive advantage in Melbourne, not just with talent, but with sports science and football club budgets. Massive.

If we prove that to him, then he'll come.

Personally, I'd still be expecting him to commit to Melbourne.

He's on too good a thing down there. Invisible. Great players. Facilities. Money. No pressure.

Exactly the opposite to everything he'd have at Saints.

The only thing in our favor is the chance to prove he's any good elsewhere. Bennett did it.

Does Bellamy's ego come in to play?

 

[coast_dragons]

Won't happen another fluff piece to give Dragons fans hope then uses the cliche line I never really wanted to leave when he stays and the fans have a massive whinge the club isn't trying hard enough.

He'll always be associated with the worst cheating the competition has seen in my life time and should never be forgiven.

Exactly this.
Bennett is a better coach than bellyache tho

Wont happen...Dragons are a rabble and Storm have the financial security to keep him.

So, if its between you and us - and it is, then why hasn't he already just signed at Melbourne?

Dragons "are a rabble".

lol, just lol

Yeah but we're an HONEST rabble !

And they have many financial journals that all support their strong fiscal management.

agree

also, do you think the writer wouldn't mind creating a bit of drama at the Dragons for 2013 ? Steve Price's confidence would be at an all time high

 

[drago brelli]

The positive aspect for the Dragons that's if this article can be taken seriously and Rothfields wasn't drunk when he wrote it is that supercoach Bennett will highly recommend the club. Quiet man Bennett and Bellyache are good friends and coach Bennett really enjoyed his time in Wollongong. Bennett got around in relative anonimity and no one bothered him. Wollongong in this aspect is a bit like Melbourne.
