Yes, sad to see him go, has been a great servant of the club, we might find a bit more of this happening in the post-COVID era.

As long as we make clubs like Cronulla pay overs! Wink

Unfortunately, you can't keep them all, and Cronulla have the wallet out big time - and he has been touted as a departure all season.  Hopefully, he goes out with another premiership ring.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

The good news follows: Craig Bellamy will commit to another deal with Melbourne Storm. Apparently (to be announced) he will coach in 2022 with a possible move to a director of football role and him selecting a replacement coach.

 Signed for 5 years, so he is there until 2026, but will decide/review in March each year whether he continues to coach or moves into another role.

After that result, the biggest threat to Melbourne Storm is only themselves.  If they are switched on, it is daylight second.  Especially if the GF is in Melbourne.

Panthers had a lot of front line outs, but even so the Storm list depth is significant. It was a very different look Storm yesterday, almost too many cooks, but I thought that team mix better suited Grant and Munster.

However, Smith, Pap and Hynes sort of got in each others way a bit.

Pap needs big Nelson, Welch and Jesse Bromwich clearing the corridor, I believe Nelson is out for two or three weeks with a hand fracture.

Given Storm is losing Nicho Hynes, and Brandon Smith is yet to formerly re-sign, would Bellyache have a 2nd crack at sorting out Curtis Scott or is the kid a lost cause?

Serious player, a bit troubled, not sure of his work ethic, sport of Storms version of Mitch Robinson.

Only 23 still, and been kyboshed by Canberra for bad off-field behaviours!

I do worry about Pap and Hughes, both have suffered repeat concussions, that stuff with a bit of bad luck can go South very quickly. Nice to be able to reshuffle, especially with Addo-Carr leaving, move Olam here, Hughes there, etc., etc..

Mind you Harry Grant is not a bad substitute, and under Bellyache these guys seem to be able to pick up any role forward or back and run with it ...... literally! ;D
