**HOW A GAME OF GOLF KEPT PROCTOR IN MELBOURNE**
CANBERRA are privately furious at Storm back-rower Kevin Proctor, whom the Raiders believe reneged on a handshake deal with coach Ricky Stuart this week.
In a backflip that would have generated big news if not for Origin I, Proctor is believed to have told Stuart he would accept Canberra’s huge $700,000-a-year offer over dinner in Melbourne on Monday night.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy certainly had that impression after speaking to Proctor later that evening, turning his focus to finding a replacement after the Kiwi requested another day to decide.
That made Bellamy a pleasantly surprised individual when Proctor rang back on Tuesday with news that he’d decided to stay for significantly less money.
In between, the 26-year-old played a round of golf with teammates, including Jesse and Kenny Bromwich. Their friendly hit will now be remembered as the pivotal moment in Proctor’s change of heart.

If only Tede$co played his game of golf with the Bromwich brothers!…
