Xavier Coates clearly indicated he wants to play under Craig Bellamy.
If the Storm officially announce the signing of Coates it would confirm Bellamy is staying in Melbourne.
Interestingly, despite Bellamy stating in his own words that he is “still interested” in the Cronulla role, the media has completely dismissed that as an option.
Is it possible then, that Coates met with Bellamy in Melbourne about coming to Cronulla? The media meltdown would be spectacular.
As mentioned he's been announced as going to the Storm and also I don't think it's a done deal to assume any signing to the Storm means Bellamy is there.
If Bellamy does stay, if you're to believe what you read, it's to either coach for one more year or be the coaching director.
So Coates is going down there with Bellamy not being the coach for some part of his current contract.
Yes I appreciate it could mean that but I'm not assuming that just yet, also you'd think it would have gotten out or they would have announced it by now if that was the case. Why keep stringing it along if you know the answer ?
I also thought there was no chance Reynolds would leave Sydney so what the f**k do I know
