You tease
Not teasing at all. Bellamy denied the claims being made publicly today. Doesn’t mean he isn’t staying, just means he is respectful of what is going on.

All I’m suggesting is that it is likely a face to face to commit or decline is something I see as a possibility and an away trip to Melbourne is the chance.

Why would Bellamy want to wait until after this game to announce if he was staying or going. He was also in talks with Brisbane who were hopeful of getting him. Has he informed them of his decision as well? If so why didn’t it break after their game earlier in the season.

What makes us special?

To me this has been always just rumour and hopeful approach.

Sponsorship/coaching direction may have just come from the boards work/vision who knows.

I’ve not once seen any clear indication this was all Bellamys doing / little plan or that he’s pulling strings.

Wait and see what happens the rest is crystal ball crap.

To be fair, Bellamy has to sign with us. Purely because I have been running my mouth about it for the last couple of months to all my dickhead mates that go for every other team that is higher than us on the table or has beaten us this year.

Do the right thing Craig, help a brother out.

haha likewise.

I don’t get if he was staying with the storm, why drag it out? Why wouldn’t he just announce it?

Shark shocked to answer your question about timing I can only assume it is to ensure there is no talk of conflict of interest etc similar to when a player moves and the agreement is they don’t play against their old side.

Time will tell either way.

Do we / Brisbane not play Melbourne again this year?

Rd 25 we play them again, just say he is coming to us there was no way he would announce it before we played them this week even if he had made his mind up 4 months ago

Hasn’t seemed to bother Fitzgibbon being linked in the media about his movements behind the scenes for Cronulla for next year whilst still working for an opposition club.

I’m not sold on the timing of possible announcements being indicative of the direction of where things fall. Calling furphy on that.

As always we just wait and see and the rest is speculative crap.

Fitz signed only days after we played the roosters

Fitzgibbon was announced days after the roosters game.

How is this relevant though. He’s still clearly working for the Sharks this year as well as working for the roosters.

Professional sport. If it broke before or after the game it has no bearing on the rest of the year that the individual will still spending with one eye / ear on their future job.

I just can’t see how the timing of anything is relevant. Not to mention the Fitzgibbon thing was basically unheard of until it happened.

Bellamy has been talked about now for a while.

I see what you’re saying, and I have no idea whether he is coming or not, but why hasn’t he re-signed with the storm and put it to bed if that’s his decision or announced it if it’s already been done?

He either hasn’t signed anything and is seriously considering all offers or he is waiting for the right time to announce whatever he has signed.

Yep fair analysis. Entirely possible.

Also possible he genuinely doesn’t know what he wants to do next year, whether he actually wants to coach again.

I’m sure his wife’s health issue would delay any sort of decision etc.

I just don’t read too far into it or put importance on stuff. The whole shenanigans of it all shits me to tears.

Prefer to go into a coma and wake up in 2022
