Bellamy has only ever had to drip feed juniors into his first grade machine. Wouldn’t know what to do with our pathetic roster.

Wouldn't ever have had to worry about it....

Signs on Character - Barely any of our last 150 odd Players have had any....
Plenty of blokes in their squad atm that have debuted there.

His ability is identify athletes with the right character would have to be his greatest trait, even if he has delegated the responsibility to others at times. Generally those players then have the best possible chance of success when they get placed strategically in a strong first grade team.

That is true however Bellamy seems to have the ability better than anyone else of having the best no names coming through his system.You very rarely see a dud signed by Melbourne or being developed there

Jahrome Hughes is about the best player in the game at the moment....

No one had heard of him until Bellamy got to him.
Roosters, Titans and Cowboys couldn't get him to fire....

He also doesn’t seem to debut kids as we do (although ours is through necessity).

Top 10 stupidest statements of all time

Idk much about Kataouga but the Laulilii bros and Feledy have clear potential and are easily worth the time

I know he had 2 very bad errors but Luke’s potential was on display yesterday and there is clearly a player there

We'll see who's stupid I guess.

After watching NSW Cup just now, I could write an essay but I couldn't be bothered.

In both NRL & Cup, we are playing dumb, simple skills go out the window, we are regularly stripped for numbers on one or both edges, our heads drop with few leaders, we go for Hollywood plays in both attack & defence, we've lost the playing for eachother mentality, we are weak in contact and decisions continually go against us.

It is so apparent our youngsters (aged 18-21) are not getting the development they need in all aspects of the game. Our coaching & player development systems need to be fixed asap before we lose a generation of talent, many of whom at the moment are losing confidence & morale.

Yes we can go on about players lacking effort, having low IQ, making stupid mistakes, but atm we are not giving them every chance to succeed with our coaching & development systems.

I don't usually rant but today's effort in NSW Cup was laughable and it shouldn't be.

Bellamy puts his rookies through a pretty tough preseason process which involves working a “real job” ( meaning labouring on constructions sites ) and a tough training program ….so even if someone else had Identified the kid then he will see if they are up to it or not…..apparently more than a few haven’t been up to it and have hit the road … seems a lot different then from what I have heard about the process here at the Tigers …
 
Daniel Vidot playing for some American RL side, in between wrestling promotions after being axed by WWE a couple of months ago.

Skipped through the stream, saw he scored a try here:

Not suggesting we sign him, but maybe we sign up to this league.

lol @ cones for the try line and the goal posts being behind the dead ball line 😂

Bellamy hardly signs or identifies any of the young recruits. Paul Bunn has full control of who comes to the club where Bellamy provides feedback on who he wants to keep. Bellamy's greatest trait is knowing what he knows (coaching) and what he doesn't (recruitment) and allowing others to do what he doesn't know.

Melbourne are an efficient footballing machine and have been for almost their entire existence.Certainly they have had assistance both legally and illegaly on the way but they just don't fail in the areas that count.I wish we could be half as good as they are because you know every year they will make the 8 and be a possibility of being in the grand final
