Melbourne Storm wishes to provide an update regarding the health of senior coach Craig Bellamy.
Over recent weeks, in consultation with specialists, Craig has undergone a series of medical tests and has since been diagnosed with a form of Neurodegenerative Disorder.
He is receiving the best possible medical treatment and has been advised by specialists that his diagnosis will not have an impact on his ability to coach the team in the immediate future.
Chairman Matt Tripp said: "Despite our recent results, I firmly believe Craig is still coaching at an elite level and I have no doubt he is the right person to drive the Club forward. Craig has the full support of the board, players, coaches, and staff to continue leading the Club as he has done for the last 24 seasons.”
Given the private nature of the diagnosis, Craig and the Club will make no further comment on the matter.
