Iconic Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy has urged rival bosses to get behind the recent rule changes that are set to be introduced when the NRL returns this week.

“This decision’s been made, so I think we’ve all got to back it now and take whatever comes of it,” Bellamy said on Fox League.

“It’s really important that we stick together. It’s been a real tough time for everyone in our community.

“There’s a lot worse things happened in the world than going to one ref’ in rugby league. I think we’ll all take it in the right spirit and do the right thing.”
