The NRL legend believes Craig Bellamy won't step down as Melbourne Storm coach as he'd get too "bored".
Gordon Tallis has dismissed suggestions that this year will be Craig Bellamy's last as coach of the Melbourne Storm.
Each and every season it seems Bellamy's future as Storm coach is discussed, with many believing that last year would finally spell the end of the coaching great's career.
However, in May last year, the Storm announced he would return for 2024, extending his time at the helm of the club beyond two decades.
The 64-year-old refused to give a direct answer when pressed about his future beyond 2024 on Fox Sports' NRL 360 this week.
But Tallis - who played under Bellamy when he was an assistant at Brisbane - says he can't see him walking away from the top job anytime soon.
"I think there's been about five years he's come off contract and I don't think he can walk away.
Some coaches just keep coaching, Wayne Bennett is one of those guys.
He loves being around the guys, it keeps him young and they like coaching.
Craig is the same," Tallis said.
"I think he would be bored.
No matter what he does.
He just loves being around the guys and improving young men."
