And Harry didn't even let him answer.
He said, I guarantee you, this bloke, no one has more respect from the playing group or anyone in the NRL than Craig Bellamy.
I thought that was the most true thing said ever because...
I remember sessions when he wouldn't be there in preseason and then sessions when he'd be sitting at the dead ball line and just people would put effort in just because he was there.
Just because you could see Billy watching in the background.
All you wanted to do as a player and as a...
you get older as a mate is making proud.
So I hope the whole rugby league community gets around him.
I hope, or being in the Melbourne old boys chat as well.
Like it looks, there's a huge response in there of boys wanting to, you know, return the favor that he's done for so many people that he's coached.
Yeah.
But even the fact that before Xavier Coates was the first ever player under Craig Bellamy that they'd signed who had played representative football.
So much of their playing group for so long, they'd recruited there as young blokes and they'd sort of come through 20s or play reserve grade, whether it be up at North Steffels back in the day or Sunshine Coast Falcons, Brisbane East Tigers, like Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Billy Slaters.
they've come through first grade at that Melbourne Storm Club as young blokes.
Like that 18 to sort of 21 age, he's literally like, and it sounds weird to say, but he's literally like your father figure down there because everyone's away from home and he's down there.
And like, I can remember first conversation with him, first time he sprayed me, first time he complimented me.
And those like, they're...
Big memories in my head.
And I speak on behalf of everyone who's been coached by him because I know everyone feels the exact same way about him.
I would say he's got to be one of the most respected people in rugby league ever.
