Brad Fittler, Billy Slater, Craig Bellamy back Jahrome Hughes, Ryan Papenhuyzen, Cameron Munster, Harry Grant to improve for decider
“Great players in big games – Munsters, Clearys, Ryan Papenhuyzen – they just increase their participation,” he said.
Speaking after the win of Friday, Bellamy said that the spine remained an ongoing work. The quartet was only the ninth time he played together this season. It was also the first look for Hughes since he broke his arm 22 days ago.

Bellamy still has some improvement in our combination, but four, what stands out for me, how well they play individually, ”he said.
“Not on this.
“’Hughesy’ went out a little and ‘paps’ went out a little, so our combinations will heal during the week.”
Bellamy was relieved because Melbourne was at the top at the right time. For most of the season, he looked angry with his ability to bring together an 80 -minute performance.
“What I was most happy with was our form,” he said.
“I probably thought we were much more consistent than we were last month or five weeks later, and that’s why we probably win the game.
“Probably a sense of relief that we found almost a consistent 80 minutes that we have not produced in the last five or six weeks. This is a little relief.”

After joining the 11th Grand Final of his famous career, Bellamy admitted that the decision maker was a bonus for a 48 -hour bonus to prepare for the decision maker.
“Yes, I think this is an advantage, but with all respect, we did not make this decision… NRL decided, not us,” he said.
