The Melbourne Storm may have held Parramatta scoreless at AAMI Park, but that wasn't enough to spare coach Craig Bellamy from losing his cool during the match.

With the Storm holding a 22-0 lead late in the first-half, Bellamy blew up in the coaches box after Cameron Munster missed a penalty conversion, before continuing his tirade in the half-time break in the Storm dressing room.

Following the match, Bellamy told former player Billy Slater that the blow-up was about miscommunication, and NRL legend Brad Fittler explained the unique difficulty presented by grounds in Melbourne.

"I was talking to the referees and they were saying in Melbourne for some reason the communication is actually really tricky down there," Fittler told the Sunday Footy Show.

"It's not as clear as they are at other grounds. It's virtually the same in the coaches box.

"For whatever reason they're hard to listen to. When I was coaching in Origin it was impossible."

However, Eels legend Peter Sterling was unconvinced as to whether the blow-up was solely down to whether the Storm should take the penalty kick at all as opposed to who took the kick.

"The spray continued not only in the box but down on the ground at half time," he said.

"Apparently there was a lack of communication between the two.

"We're not certain whether the problem was Craig wanting Papenhuyzen to take the kick over Cameron Munster."
