Ok, we'll take Bowman & Hannay... and maybe Sing on a 2yr deal
He has done a great job in building up juniors... but other than Mick Crocker who was paid a good 200k more than he's really worth, who has Bellamy signed that's worth noting?I Bleed Green said:Craig Bellamy had never coached first grade before the Storm and he's done an awesome job in attracting players and building up juniors.
I think Henry is the right move for the long-term aspect of this club.

Slater, Smith, Cronk, Inglis.... I give Bellamy credit on that part. He's obviously put in a professional structure that allows young players to ease into first grade at the right time and become a major success.
Which is more than I can say for our current one, where we put them 1 in for one week and drop them for 10.
thickos said:Henry, a former Raiders Premier League coach, said the notion Canberra was unable to attract big-name players, and that it struggled to compete as a result, was "overplayed". He said one of his main priorities as coach would be to ensure the club didn't have to rely on interstate signings to keep it afloat.
"I'm certainly keen to use local talent," Henry told The Canberra Times.
"The whole region ... the Riverina region, the South Coast region, is strong and a great nursery for rugby league in the Canberra area. I think that Matt Elliott's had a focus on that in his time there," Henry said. "I think there's a number of exciting players coming through and hopefully they're the future of the club and we can foster that development."
