This is a bear that is easily awoken, it seems.
A rejuvenated Craig Bellamy is considering activating a clause in his contract that will see him stay head coach of Melbourne until the end of 2018 - if he has the backing of Storm's powerbrokers.

Bellamy is out of contract at the end of next season but isn't ruling out another two seasons after steering the NRL club into a top four finish and then a preliminary final, which Melbourne hosts on Saturday week.
The 55-year-old hasn't missed a finals series since taking on the role in 2003, with the exception of the 2010 salary cap scandal when they were unable to earn competition points.
But Bellamy said he wouldn't re-sign without the full support of the board and new chief executive Dave Donaghy.
"I'd like to have the club's opinion on it as they might think it's time for somebody else as I've been here for a long time," Bellamy said.
"I'd like to think that's not the case but the CEO might have an opinion that they want to give it to someone younger.
"If I was to go again, I'd like to have their full backing and that will be part of the discussion.
"It will be my decision but if they have any doubts I'd like to hear them."
