MELBOURNE - NSW have stuck with Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy as the man they believe can plot an end to Queensland's historic run of State of Origin dominance.

The Storm's dual NRL premiership coach has been reappointed to coach the Blues in the 2010 Origin series.

It will make him the first man to retain the job after overseeing consecutive series losses.

Queensland's four-series winning streak is the longest in the 30-year history of Origin football, with Bellamy having been at the NSW helm for the past two years.
