‘Good idea’: Bellamy backs calls for NRL finals shake-up, explains mass resting of 10 players
With a top-four spot, and another double-chance in the finals, locked in, Bellamy opted to leave out superstars Cameron Munster and Harry Grant as well as captain Christian Welch and first-choice players Nick Meaney, Xavier Coates, Marion Seve, Trent Loiero, Tui Kamikamica, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Tom Eisenhuth.
Bellamy declared some of his players were nursing “niggles” that they may have played through if there was more at stake and if they knew they had a week off before the finals as teams do in the AFL.Jack Howarth will make his debut for the Storm.

The Broncos would be saying the same.
NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo has said he’s got no issue with teams fielding B-grade sides, and while Bellamy said the fans were being denied the best possible line-ups, it was still “exciting” for the clubs to see new players.“For us, and for the Broncos too, we get an opportunity to see some young guys go around and they have been waiting for a long time. We are excited about that.
