Maybe he has just made too much money already?

Haters will hate, but geez he got maximum out of a lot of average players.

Good luck to him.

And he did it at an unusually consistent rate.If most those players where horses,they would have been promptly swabbed.

One day,when one of the staffing members or players fall on hard times,I'll be waiting for the tell-all book.

It WILL be a best seller.:clap:

the big three and cheating aside the storm teams under him in terms of sticking to plans and reacting the right way to what is happening on the field have been well disciplined and meticulous which isn't an easy thing to instil (look at how many sides get into the opposition 20m and become lost and borderline geniused in recent times).

If you gave bellyache a development role and gave him a team like the png hunters in the qld cup to work with who are highly skilled and have the physical attributes (as well as many of the minnow nations) but still lack that attention to detail he could do wonders with them.

as opposed to Sticky and Kearney?

What people don't realise is the amount of analysis, video reviews he does to spot out small faults.

Yep he has an amazing attention to detail, no idea they were over the cap though...........

His reputation is made by Smith/Slater/Cronk. He knew he had to jump ship by then when the big 3 have either retired or are past it so he can save his legacy.

What legacy? One premiership?

Sheens class....


He will be much loved by storm fans, that's about it.

Personally hes too Conservative for my liking but the the fact is Bellamy will be remembered for being a good coach long after you Merkin's names are deleted from the lu database.

But keep fighting the good fight.

oh hell...and here I thought they became the big three some time after Bellamy became coach :eek:

Being the big three already at 17-18yrs old is amazing! One for the history books or Guinness book of records - or maybe Ripley's...

Yep

Can Smith didn't play 9 at the Storm till Craig came.
Billy didn't become a great footballer till Craig made him one a whole 5 years into his career - there's a search function for those who want too see sheeples opinions on him before 20008
And Cooper was a utility till 2006 and no-one rated him too highly. In fact many predicted the Storm to sink after Orful left.

Names in the database have already lasted longer than his premierships did...

Slater and Smith will most likely be gone too so Storm will be heading into unfamiliar territory and starting to rebuild a little bit so maybe that could be a reason to his decision (sure he made it when he signed his contract though)
