The embattled Brisbane Broncos are ready to launch a spectacular offer to bring super coach Craig Bellamy to the club.ย
Despite the Broncos set to announce Kevin Walters as coach, it seems they are looking even further down the road offering Bellamy a 10-year deal from the 2022 season as a coaching director.ย
The Broncos could use their secret weapon in a bid to get Bellamy to Queensland as The Courier Mail's Peter Badel reported the club could utilise his son Aaron as part of their masterplan to get the three-time premiership coach.ย
Aaron is currently working alongside his father at the Melbourne Storm as a development coach.ย
Badel reiterated his comments on NRL360ย saying that the Broncos are still trying to figure out a way to land the super coach.ย
โSpeaking to the Broncos theyโre still very confident in getting Craig Bellamy,โ Badel told NRL360.
โThe Broncos have table a deal of up to ten years โ a lifetime contract to try and get him to Red Hill.
โThe discussions have evolved over the last few months. there was another discussion of a straight up five-year deal, theyโve also said to Craig weโre prepared to look at a three to five year option in your favour which would see him remain at the Broncos past his 70th birthday.
โHe would be coaching director until beyond 2030 if he took the deal.
โAt this stage he insists he hasnโt signed anything, that is correct but there have been discussion with Matt Tripp (the Storm chairman) that Craig intends to relocate to Brisbane in 2022.โ
โHe (Walters) would report to Craig Bellamy, as part of these discussions that have been happening between Craig Bellamy and Paul White (Broncos CEO), theyโve also spoken to Craig about joining the Brisbane recruitment and retention committee."
โCraig Bellamy would have a say in that. I donโt see how he does this job on a three-day a week.โ
Meanwhile, Bellamy has hit back at suggestions that he is on the move.ย
โI responded the other day that Iโm not making any decision," Bellamy said after the Melbourne Storm's loss to St George Illawarra Dragons.ย
โI ainโt going to be talking about it until after the finals but I can tell you right here right now I havenโt agreed to nothing anywhere.โ
