INSIDE THE STORM: A PORTRAIT OF ONE OF THE GREATEST COACHES IN NRL HISTORY

Revealed - Craig Bellamy: Inside the Storm showcases the NRL's Melbourne mastermind in a whole new light.

February 18 2025 – Stan today announced that the Stan Original Documentary Revealed - Craig Bellamy: Inside the Storm will premiere March 9, only on Stan. 

Filmed over the course of the 2024 NRL season, the feature-length documentary takes fans inside the Melbourne Storm’s inner sanctum, offering an unprecedented access with the club and its highly lauded leader, coach Craig Bellamy. Amid a season that featured stunning highs and heartbreaking lows, the documentary peels back the layers of Bellamy's persona, revealing the man behind the fire - more than the emotion-fuelled figure often seen in the coach’s box.

The documentary features interviews with fellow legendary coaches in Tottenham football manager Ange Postecoglu and Collingwood Magpies head coach Craig McRae, in addition to NRL Immortal Andrew Johns. Also starring are NRL journalist and former coach Roy Masters, and Storm superstars such as Cameron Munster and Harry Grant, Craig Bellamy: Inside the Storm was created from 913 hours of filming, offering a coaching masterclass.

Having coached for 23 seasons - 22 of which ended in a Finals campaign - Craig Bellamy has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest leaders in NRL history. With five Grand Final victories and a record seven Dally M Coach of the Year awards (as of 2025), his impact on the game is undeniable. But beyond the stats and silverware lies the true mystery: how has he consistently transformed ​ ordinary players into champions - both on and off the field - at a level unmatched in any Australian sport?

Revealed - Craig Bellamy: Inside the Storm not only pulls back the curtain on his coaching secrets, but also on his guarded personal life, showcasing a man who belies the tough coaching persona fans are familiar with, and shares the challenges he overcame to get to where he is today.

Craig Bellamy says: “It has been a privilege to be able to tell my story with Stan. Whilst it was a new experience for me, I’m looking forward to the fans seeing another side of not only myself, but the Melbourne Storm organisation as well.

“I’m also looking forward to not having Doc the camera operator following my every move as we head into another NRL season in 2025!”

Stan's Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie, says: "Craig Bellamy is not only one of the greatest coach of the NRL era, but his unrivalled achievements in rugby league cement him as one of the greatest coaches in all of Australian sport.

"It has been a privilege to be granted the access to go behind the scenes of his life to not only uncover the secrets behind his coaching success, but to get to know the man behind the coach.
