Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has ruled out retirement but has left the door open for a change in club. Bellamy is still tossing up whether to remain in his position as head coach for a 20th year or move into a director of coaching role with the Storm, with similar positions at Brisbane and Cronulla also on offer. He said a non-football related matter, believed to be a family illness, was delaying his decision, and that he was still interested in all options.But the super coach has ruled out retiring from the game after only winning yet another Premiership with the Storm last year. "This time last week I'd signed for the Storm and a week later I'm retiring," said Bellamy, ahead of Melbourne's Thursday night clash with South Sydney. "I don't think I've mentioned once that I was thinking about retirement." "I think they're (Cronulla) still in there; I'm still interested. "A lot of things haven't changed from a couple of months ago, there's just been some things that have happened that are not connected for footy and that's the sticking point but hopefully I will have a decision soon." One of the game's best fullbacks, Ryan Papenhuyzen, praised Bellamy for his influence.
