Craig Bellamy has revealed how Andrew Johns convinced him to continue coaching for at least one more season at the Melbourne Storm. The Storm announced on Wednesday that Bellamy will remain at the helm for an incredible 21st season in 2023. Speaking after the announcement, the supercoach revealed how a conversation with Johns convinced him to stick around. Bellamy said Johns called him a few weeks ago while he was still deciding whether to remain as coach or move to a part-time director of coaching role with the NRL club. "It took a while to get there and there were a few things that stalled the decision," Bellamy said. "I turned a bit of a corner when I had a chat to Joey Johns - Andrew rang me a couple of weeks ago and made a couple of points and it seemed to make a bit of sense to me and that swung me the way I decided to go." Bellamy didn't elaborate on the conversation but said he appreciated the input from Johns. "I will leave that between me and Joey but I appreciate him ringing me up and that was the main thing that turned me," he said. "There's a couple of things I want to do before I get too old," he said. "We will see what happens in this 12 months and go from there." Since taking over as coach of the Storm in 2003, Bellamy has taken the team to nine grand finals, winning five
