Ricky Stuart supports Craig Bellamy after his diagnosis, urging him to prioritize his health.
Canberra coach Ricky Stuart has thrown his support behind his good friend Craig Bellamy after the Melbourne mentor was diagnosed with an unspecified neurological degenerative condition.
Bellamy will remain as the Storm coach for the immediate future after the club revealed last night that the 66-year-old underwent tests and was diagnosed with the disorder.
Melbourne did not provide any further details of the diagnosis.
Stuart and Bellamy are two of the NRL's closest coaches, having played for the Raiders in the late 80s and early 90s, including the 1990 grand final win over Penrith.
