Craig Bellamy, a competitive utility player, excelled with the Raiders and later coached successfully.
As a player with the Canberra Raiders in the 1980s to early 1990s, Craig Bellamy was a battler.
Performing well above his weight in the star-studded Raiders team of the late 1980s, Bellamy was the hardest trainer I have seen in my 36 years of covering the team.
A utility player capable of performing anywhere from fullback to lock, Bellamy pushed himself to the extreme in an effort to extract the maximum out of his body. He was also extremely competitive.
He went on to play 150 games for the Raiders, as well as coaching the Presidents Cup team to the premiership in 1995.
