[QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2943356, member: 8274"] First of all can I just say there is a part of me that can't quite believe we're sitting here again talking about a post-Bennett era. I didn't think this conversation would be happening for at least another couple of years. Alas, sadly people cannot live forever, and Wayne is well and truly becoming long in the tooth when it comes to coaching. As for his replacement being Bellamy, well it's no secret what I think of that. I'm really not happy about it. I couldn't give a shit if the media want to blow smoke up his ass, his supposedly solid gold reputation is at best on shaky ground when you actually dare to look deeper than the surface, and who expects the rugby league media to do that? First, his style while successful is truly horrible for the health of the game in general. Sure winning games is great, but if that makes watching the game itself a frustrating chore, then what really is the point? Bellyaches wrestlemania tactics are a blight. Always have been, always will be and anyone who thinks he won't bring that shit here are kidding themselves. Secondly, god damn it is truly astonishing how short peoples memories are. Half of Bellamy's reputation as a coach is built on a monstrous lie. What people like to refer to as his "dynasty" now sits in the history books of the game as one giant asterisk. Stripped of 2 premierships, multiple minor premierships and the single worst case of bringing the game into disrepute that Aussie sport has ever seen, rivaled only by Essendon's drugs saga. And people are naive enough to try and throw Bellamy a bone that he had no idea the worst salary cap rorting in Aussie sport was happening under his nose. So you coach a side with the likes of Slater, Cronk, Smith, Inglis and Folau all in the one side and you don't know there is shady shit happening? Give me a fucking spell. For those who are welcoming this news with open arms, I admire your optimism, I really do, and I wish I could borrow a bit of it, but nothing about this situation smells good to me. Many would argue what we saw on Saturday at AAMI Park is the real Craig Bellamy; rudderless and sulky without Cameron Smith leading the troops on the ground, and if and when he comes to Brisbane, he will be well and truly on his own for the first time in his coaching career.
