He’s the angriest coach in the NRL. But Craig Bellamy lightened up for Origin

With a camera crew following his every move, Craig Bellamy last year revealed the game-day angst he has carried his whole career. Despite having coached more than 500 NRL matches, Stan’s Revealed - Craig Bellamy: Inside the Storm documentary lifted the lid on how nerves frequently make the hours before a game almost unbearable for one of rugby league’s greatest ever mentors. On Wednesday night, clutching a Jim Beam and cola (no Queensland sugarcane champagne, thank you) in the Suncorp sheds, Bellamy toasted the Blues’ grinding 18-6 Origin I victory, and Laurie Daley. And for once, a pleasurable game-day experience. Bellamy, Daley’s sounding board in the coach’s box, made sure he sat largely out of sight of Channel 9’s cameras.
