4 time premiership coach? Am I missing something?
Reckon he knows the writing is on the wall with Smith and Slater retiring. Can't blame him though. Smart move to get out on or near the top.
Bellamy will become just the seventh mentor to coach 400 premiership matches when Melbourne take on the Wests Tigers on Saturday in Auckland. But, apart from placing the champagne well and truly on ice as he attempts to plot the Storm’s path back to the winner’s circle, the four-time grand final- winning coach says he isn’t ruling out stepping back in 2019. “I have been thinking about it a bit obviously,” Bellamy said on Friday. “The next week or two, I’m going to have to make that decision. “But certainly even if I don’t go on as a head coach, I’d like to be involved in some way somehow — even a part-time or whatever mentoring role perhaps. “I’m not quite sure what the ideal thing would be ... I have got to just decide whether I go on as a head coach or not and then we can go from there.” Bellamy’s bombshell revelation threatens to overshadow Saturday’s match at Mt Smart Stadium, with Storm management no doubt eager to retain their modern-day super-coach and other clubs sure to be monitoring the 58-year-old’s next move with interest.
