Billy Slater addresses a rumour about Melbourne Storm’s coaching future, saying he has no plans to replace Craig Bellamy as head coach. The comments are reported by multiple outlets following the circulation of speculation regarding possible changes to the Storm’s coaching set-up.

The reports note that Slater’s position rules out a move into the top role at present. While the outlets focus on the same clarification, they frame it primarily as a response to the coaching talk rather than as an announcement of any formal staff change.

Together, the sources present a consistent picture: the speculation is not supported by Slater’s stated intentions, and Bellamy remains the head coach in the immediate term, according to Slater’s remarks. No sources provide details of any concrete plans, negotiations, or official decisions beyond Slater’s denial of the replacement idea.
