Jahrome Hughes has spilled the beans on what makes the Melbourne Storm coach, Craig Bellamy, a true legend in the game.
According to the Dally M medallist, Bellamy's relentless dedication to hard work is the key ingredient behind the Storm's incredible success.
Hughes, who was recently crowned the NRL player of the year, emphasized the importance of perseverance and grit, citing Bellamy's daily grind in the gym as a source of inspiration for the team.
He painted his team as the underdogs going into the grand final showdown against the Penrith Panthers, a team that has been on a winning streak and aims for their fourth consecutive premiership.
Despite the Storm's own star-studded lineup featuring players like Cameron Munster, Ryan Papenhuyzen, and Harry Grant, Hughes acknowledged the formidable challenge that the Panthers, led by Nathan Cleary, present.
He praised Penrith for their consistency and ability to perform as a well-oiled machine despite losing key players in recent years.
Hughes highlighted Cleary's impact on the team and acknowledged the strength of the Panthers' lineup, urging his teammates to remain focused and error-free in order to stand a chance against their formidable opponents.
In the world of rugby league, success is not just about talent, but also about determination and resilience, qualities that Bellamy embodies and instills in his players.
