Craig Bellemy On Sterlo..

2 of the best brains arguably in the history of the game

throw in Jack Gibson and you end up with the triads

I was already aware that his missus was largely responsible for torpedoing the deal, Scott Prince's wife may also have been responsible for him not re-signing. Gary Schofield back in the day same story…

For Bellamy there was a rumour at the time which may or may not be true as to why his wife didn't want him to take a job in Sydney. I won't repeat it as I have no idea if there is even a grain of true in it and it was a fairly unsavoury one.

Bellamy was born and grew up around near where I live, and I have heard those rumours, and more.

the guy loves his wife - that's why he's a great coach

:blah :unamused:

Can't stomach the bloke. Sure he has a decent record but having a better roster assembled than you are allowed under the rules of the NRL for more than a few years will tend to do that.
Had to laugh in the slimy twit's interview when he said "after what happened with the salary cap cheating and our punishment we just wanted to stick it up the NRL". For what exactly?…..having the arrogance to catch your club out cheating the system? Wanker.

Also the fact that he stated " yes I believe we won those premierships because I saw how hard our team worked all season". Probably not as hard as the teams that played by the rules I would have thought.
Scumbag human who has never admitted to his club's effort to cheat the game. Wouldn't take a slash on the bloke if he was on fire.
Pity Sterlo didn't have the courage to put a few more probing and uncomfortable questions to him in regards to the biggest cheating rort our code has ever seen. Instead bows down and licks his feet. Embarrassing really.

What I also liked is when he said he didn't understand origin in his first crack as coach…

That's normally the standard reply for someone who has been found wanting at a particular level of competition. It is easier to say than "I was a failure as an Origin coach".
He said he didn't understand it because he never played Origin…..Phil Gould didn't play Origin I don't think and he seemed to understand how to coach successfully at Origin level.

Phil Gould didn't play Origin I don't think and he seemed to understand how to coach successfully at Origin level.

Maybe it was just dumb luck and the secret to coaching origin is just repeating comments over and over and over, which he is naturally very gifted at doing.

Had to laugh in the slimy twit's interview when he said "after what happened with the salary cap cheating and our punishment we just wanted to stick it up the NRL". For what exactly?…..having the arrogance to catch your club out cheating the system? Wanker.

Yeah that is a disgraceful attitude. Instead of feeling shame and embarrassment over being so low as to systematically cheat he was just outraged at being caught and humiliated. It's the kind of attitude that makes you think he'd do it all again if he thought he could get away with it.

Just watching the Bellemy interview..

He stated that after the baby Broncos beat the Wests Tigers at Cambo as he was coaching as Bennett was away on Origin duty he was offered the job to Coach us..which is well known…

What i didm't know ....The reason given was his wife didn't want to leave Queensland as the kids were in school....He then said he should probably have taken the job as he didn't know if another job would come...a month later Ribot contacted him and the rest is history...He took the job leaving his family in Queensland for a time....

Bloody Women.... :smiling_imp:

A man that puts his wife's wishes before his own can't be all bad. :wink:
What's the saying Geo? " Happy Wife, Happy life"

Sweet! :slight_smile:

 

[wmlmaster]

Imagine if he accepted the job at the Tigers

What they might have achieved!!!!!

Or not..
I credit Sheens for 2005

The way we have been going recently i doubt we'd ever get another Finals.
