What Joey said to convince Bellamy to keep coaching

NRL

Andrew Johns has revealed the piece of advice that convinced Craig Bellamy to remain at the helm of the Storm for another season.

The Storm announced last week that Bellamy had committed to coaching for at least another season in 2023. 

After the agreement was announced Bellamy told News Corp he was actually about to hang up the coaching clipboard until he got a call from Johns which changed his mind.

Johns has now opened up on that call via his column in The Sydney Morning Herald, where he admitted he was “surprised” to hear that his conversation with Bellamy had such a big impact.

Johns revealed the “wise words” he once received that he passed on to Bellamy that ended up leaving a lasting impression.

Play until you’ve had a gutful. Then have one more year.

— Andrew Johns

Johns is glad he picked up the phone because he believes Bellamy is “in the top three coaches of all time” alongside Jack Gibson and Wayne Bennett.

I sense a genuine motivation for him (Bellamy) would be winning one last premiership before giving it away.

— Andrew Johns
