Coach Bellamy backs his Storm enforcer

Craig Bellamy won't be asking enforcer Nelson Asofa-Solomona to tone down his aggression ahead of Melbourne's high-stakes NRL clash with Parramatta on Thursday night. The giant Storm prop has been charged five times this season, paying almost $12,000 in fines for his lengthy rap sheet. "He hasn't been suspended, he's been fined and there's a lot of other guys fined," Bellamy said on Wednesday. "The committee who put the charges out, they haven't seen it as that severe that they've given him weeks. "At the end of the day we want Nelson to play his footy, how he plays when he plays well, and that's what we need him to continue with." "There's a bit riding on it," Bellamy said. "It's a big difference between fourth and fifth, getting the two shots with fourth and sudden death in fifth. "We've got to make sure we continue our effort from last week in the last 60 minutes and hopefully we can do it for 80."
