Craig Bellamy

[MadMarcus]

Is this the most overrated person (coach, player, administrator, journalist or janitor) ever to be associated with RL?

His record reads:

2003 Melbourne Storm 5th
2004 Melbourne Storm 6th
2005 Melbourne Storm 6th
2005 Country LOST
2006 Melbourne Storm BEATEN IN GF AND DISQUALIFIED FOR CHEATING
2006 Country WON
2007 Melbourne Storm DISQUALIFIED FOR CHEATING
2007 Country LOST
2008 Melbourne Storm BEATEN IN GF BY A RECORD MARGIN (40 NIL) AND DISQUALIFIED FOR CHEATING
2008 New South Wales LOST 2-1
2009 Melbourne Storm DISQUALIFIED FOR CHEATING
2009 New South Wales LOST 2-1
2010 Melbourne Storm WOODEN SPOON
2010 New South Wales LOST 3-0
2011 Melbourne Storm ELIMINATED IN FINALS SERIES

It seems he can't achieve anything unless he is cheating. I suggest the NSWRL investigate the Country team in 2006. It is the only bright spot in an otherwise abysmal record. There is no possible way he could have won anything fair and square.

No wonder he was so upset after the game. Its much harder to win when you are not cheating (as much) isn't it Craig?

Awesome post really shows the truth doesnt it

How can a guy with that kind of record be classed as coach of the year, or one of the top 3 coaches? The fact that he is even put in the same bracket as Des and Bennett is an insult to what these other 2 have achieved.

In saying this, not looking at the records above, he has bred a lot of stars out of the Melbourne club down there. As a juniors coach he'd be the best in the competition. However, as an NRL coach he needs to win a title before he can be compared to the rest.

Hey Marcus I put it up on FB but a few sooks on Nrl news site, but someone whinged and it got deleted, funny as it was all facts with no swearing

I watched the footage of bellamy when Champion scored last night. That bloke is an absolute psycho. The utter win at all costs, legal or not, attitude manifest in the most bizarre footage of a coach I have ever seen. Add the post match sook in the dressing room and that displays everything that led them to cheat and that is wrong South of the Border..

Send it into Big Sports Breakfast, Continuous Call etc etc.

 

[COMMANDER]

Can't accept the two seasons his teams which finished first (2007, 2009) were overloaded with ill gotten booty.

You could see he could not understand how he lost last night.

Suck **** Martina.

If i was a melbourne fan i would be happy with his passion

He is a good coach...one of the better ones however....

What sticks in my eye is the fact that the club is propped up by news limited (7 mil a year??) as a result they are able to have one of the biggest back office teams...that can pick up players like smith etc....

Give Des the same resources and see the result
