Legendary NRL coach Craig Bellamy says he will be coach of the Melbourne Storm in 2027, despite recent health issues. Follow live.
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy announced on Friday that he will continue to lead the NRL club in 2027, despite recent health concerns. The 66-year-old, who has led the Storm to five premierships, expressed his desire to coach for a 25th season, though the final decision remains uncertain. Bellamy confirmed that Luke Metcalf would return to the starting side in his first match in the NRL, following Te Maire Martin's hamstring injury.
Taine Tuaupiki and Morgan Gannon have also been added to the bench. In contrast, Manly, who are still in contention for a top-eight spot, will be without Kobe Hetherington due to a pectoral tear.
