Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy did not say he was frustrated by the fact that his two key players, Cameron Smith and Cameron Munster, have not been re-signed, even though they have not been re-signed. He begins to prepare his team for the 2019 season of the NRL.
And Bellamy sees no problem in offering Smith a two-year contract, while the old hooker would be 36 next season.
Bellamy, who turned 60 years out of season, resumed work Monday for his 17th season as a freshman after touring Europe's rugby and football clubs with Storm's long-time manager, Frank Ponissi .
"It obviously took a while, hopefully that will be done soon," Bellamy told NRL.com.
"It all depends on the men's money from our club, so we'll see what happens."
Chief Executive Dave Donaghy told SEN radio in Melbourne last week that the overseas travel and holiday entitlements granted by all concerned had interrupted the talks.
But he denied that there was something more sinister about the delays, like the length of the transaction or the costs involved. Some commentators have said Smith, 35, asked for two years but the storm was not enthusiastic.
"If anyone has seen the form of Cam, he has been outstanding.He is 35, but he seems to be the Benjamin Button of the sport right now," said Donaghy at the small-scale show. sports lunch.
Bellamy added that he had no problem with the veteran of the 384 games of the NRL who wanted to play another two years.
"I do not see that as a problem."
The coach who twice won the prime minister also said that Smith would not play in another club.
"He'll be here next year – it's just a matter of settling a few things," Bellamy told NRL.com.
In the final series of last September, Smith hinted that he might be able to retire if the Storm won two consecutive titles in the Telstra Premier League. He said it was tempting to leave at sunset with Billy Slater with another ring on his fingers. But the storm lost 21-6 against Sydney Roosters of Trent Robinson.
