Craig Bellamy and Ricky Stuart are committed to a traditional pre-game catch up between old friends despite their teams preparing to go into an NRL finals battle. Stuart and the Canberra Raiders will be aiming to snap the Melbourne Storm's six-game finals winning streak at home when the team's clash on Saturday night. The match will pit two former Raiders against each other in finals for the first time since 2016, when Bellamy's Melbourne crushed Stuart's grand final dreams in a preliminary final. But their friendship extends beyond the finals rivalry, Bellamy saying the ex-teammates still plan to see each other before they become enemies. "We haven't got any set rules or contracts signed that show you can't say that," Bellamy said.
