NRL 360: See the maggot squirm

Did anyone see Craig Bellamy on NRL 360 last night when Paul Kent asked him about the salary cap cheating scandal? He was looking at the ceiling and squirming in his chair and had the arrogance to basically say that everyone should just forget about it.
How this bloke is not the most hated man in our game is beyond me…he is the very definition of a sly, arrogant, hypocrite dog. Never once has he ever come out and said they did the wrong thing, not once.

If the game wasn't so hell-bent on having a successful team out of Melbourne at whatever cost he surely would have been run out of the game.

And to think that he was on the show in part to promote his new book which apparently focuses on how much he values certain traits in people. Wonder what they are? Deceit, lies, cheating and other various low-life acts that this stroker is associated with.
 
If only… Imagine if things had worked out differently and he had taken us on instead of Melbourne.. Would we have won in 05 ??

I reckon its safe to say we'd have won at least another after that.
 
Oh yeah, and just FTR, i find it funny that people condemn Bellamy because they hate the Storm, yet will fall over themselves worshiping the ground Steve Folkes walks on and would jump off a cliff just to see him come back to the club. Remind me again who was coaching the Dogs when they rorted the cap? Hypocrites.

Lol good point forget bout that Maybe Bellamy just didn't have his bearings regards values of players ?

Say what you like, i wouldn't turn him down to come and coach us. Best coach in the game.

It's got nothing to do with his coaching ability, it is more about the bloke and how he operates. Cheating and deceit are not good character traits to possess in my book and he just blatantly sits there all smug until Paul Kent has the balls to confront him about the issue and he shows his true colours. A vile piece of human garbage that can perhaps be rightly applauded for his coaching ability but not for his character.

Most coaches would probably have a good record with Slater, Cronk and Smith in their side and an illegally-assembled team of rorting cheats for a couple of seasons, it's not rocket science to easily see that fact.

Give me Maguire, Bennett or Robinson over this bloke, at least they have some values.
 
The storm were never punished accordingly. If the nrl were serious They should have had a penalty with a reduced salary cap for 5 years at a minimum.

Without a doubt we would have but by now we would have been exposed as cheats and had our premierships taken off us after our 2 sets of illegal contracts had been found in a room at our CEO's house.

Would rather have our 1 win that was won legitimately without having to resort to cheating thanks.

Who are these people?? It certainly isn't me I know that.

That is extremely debatable. Just like i said above, by the same token whose to say we wouldn't have rorted the cap if we had Folkes as coach given his history?
 
But we didn't have Folkes. Fact is we had Sheens and we won a premiership legitimately, that is something to be more proud of than winning 3 by cheating. Pondering what MAY have happened if Folkes was PERHAPS our coach is pointless. If's, but's and maybe's.

Not only was the win legitimate, we were hundreds of thousands under the cap, and they changed the rules the following year to stop the way we played.

And 8 seasons later we still haven't worked how to make the rules work in our favour :brick: :brick:

Yet you're doing the exact same assuming Bellamy would have cheated the cap here. You're acting like Bellamy was the mastermind behind it all. You seem to be, perhaps conveniently forgetting that none of it would have happened at all if it wasn't for the board who had a pretty significant hand in what happened. Are you saying our board would have done the same thing?

You don't reckon that a coach wouldn't think something was a bit fishy when 4 or so of his players wages take up half the salary cap and yet they still had a team loaded with stars, if he didn't then he is a dead-set moron with his head up his arse. Wouldn't he question it? He knew exactly what was going on so he was as much a mastermind of it all as anybody.
And to sit there and never once admit that you got caught out, admit you did the wrong thing and just expect people to forget it all the while getting pats on the back and accolades is a low form of human waste. He had the balls to cheat yet never once had the figs to admit he was wrong or at fault. Slimy fella indeed.

Key word there being CEO. Having said that we'd be naive to think Bellamy wasn't in on it.
 
Not saying he wasn't in on it, but clearly people above played arguably a more significant role. If not for them then it probably wouldn't have gotten so far regardless of Bellamy's actions. To say the same thing would have happened here is saying that our board would played a major role.
 
Just watched the NRL 360 segment featuring Bellamy. IMO he looked like a guy who has gotten away with murder the way he tried to sweep the whole debacle under the rug.
