Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2485700, member: 8215"] Bellamy is only doing what any other coach is doing (or should be) - advocating play towards the teams strengths. Unfortunately for everyone else, he has a head start because his team has strengths that every other team can't have because they've seemingly played by the rules. In effect, Bellamy is just like his team - he only has to be good at a very narrow scope of focus. Put him in charge of another team and I don't think he'd look like the mastercoach that everyone makes him out to be, unless of course he's given another 7-10 years to put the necessary rorts in place. Bellamy is a coward and I wouldn't be surprised if he retires soon after the Big 3. He is such a sore loser that he puts things in place either legally or illegally to skew the odds in his favour. In fact his biggest success & strength is this - breaking the rules while making it appear that he's not. It's in every facet of his game. Most other teams spend their time pushing the boundaries of the rules. Bellamy breaks the rules and spends his time making it appear that he's not. Breaking the salary cap. Using defence numbers to visually conceal illegalities in the ruck. In fact, the only time we've seen a Bellamy-coached team in what you'd consider a fair fight was in Origin. His best game plan was simply to get the NSW runners to hold on to the Qlders jerseys in the ruck, making it appear as if the Qld tacklers are the ones holding the player down, and being rewarded with penalties. How long did he last when he realised he has almost zero scope for illegally skewing the odds? Seems to me that supporters of the Storm & Bellamy are either just easily impressed and don't have the fortitude to look below the surface of what's happening, or the simply believe the end justifies the means. But a cheat's a cheat for me. [/QUOTE]
