The Sharks have confirmed "meetings have been ongoing" between the club and Melbourne Storm premiership-winning coach Craig Bellamy surrounding a future in Cronulla from 2022.<\/p>\n

Bellamy, who has one year left on his contract with the Storm, has been heavily chased by the Brisbane Broncos in recent times<\/a>, with the club making no secret of their attempts to lure the legendary coach up north.<\/p>\n

It's understood the club has tabled Bellamy a multi-year offer to join the Sharks once his contract is up with the Storm.<\/p>\n

"Until there is more to report, the Sharks will be making no further comment."<\/p>\n
