Craig Bellamy to the Dragons

[BunniesMan]

I'll be very interested to see how he handles the decline and end of the big 3 era over the next several years. Can they transition without bottom 4 seasons?

The next 5 years will help me decide if he's a truly great coach, not the last 5.

 

[Jason Maher]

For once, BM may have a point. Can Bellamy renew the Storm while keeping them competitive, ala Wayne Bennett at the donkeys?

 

[BunniesMan]

Bennett always had stars coming and going. There were never really mass retirements.

Meanwhile Bellamys big 3:
Slater DOB: 18 June 1983
Smith DOB: 18 June 1983
Cronk DOB: 5 December 1983

They all turn 30 this year. Over the next couple of years they could all begin declining at the same time and be more likely to suffer injuries. And they have 2mill+ of cap space wrapped up in those three.

Bennett never had to deal with circumstances like that. If Bellamy manages to handle retirement of all 3 without a bottom 4 season or more than a single non top 8 season, he should be considered one of the very best ever coaches.

Now now Ronnie.

We all know what happened last time someone from the Dragons said something like that.

Nah. We're gonna thrash ya's man. :sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

As I've said elsewhere, jokes about pretty much anything are fine with me, but you've overstepped the mark here com padre's.

Its time for a new Sharks thread me thinks.

Yeah, same with Parra fans, Steve Kearny was his assistant as well.

Hasn't been one for at least a week.

Get onto it Ronald.

 

[El Diablo]

This is very close to a done deal. The Storm big 3 era is in its twilight. Bellamy knows it. My money is on Bellamy to St George in 2014.

derp

 

[DJShaksta]

^^ lol

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

No surprises there. The same kiss of death told everyone that Bennett was a "done deal" at Souths.

Couldn't tip shit off a shovel.

Yes. I would.
