Ricky Stuart advises Craig Bellamy to prioritize himself after Bellamy's neurological disorder diagnosis, while coaching continues unaffected for now.
Canberra Raiders head coach Ricky Stuart has advised Craig Bellamy to put himself first after it was revealed this week that the Melbourne coach had been diagnosed with a neurological degenerative disorder.
The Storm provided no further information in their statement, other than to confirm Bellamy's capacity to coach was not going to be impacted for the time being, and requesting privacy during the situation.
The NRL world was taken by shock over the diagnosis, with Bellamy into his 24th season with the Storm, where he has found unprecedented success.
One of his close coaching mates, Ricky Stuart, who played alongside Bellamy in Melbourne, has said it's time for Bellamy to make sure he is putting himself first.
