Melbourne NRL coach Craig Bellamy won't re-write their playbook again despite the obstruction rule being tweaked.

Bellamy applauded the "common sense" shown by the NRL this week to hand video referees the power to determine the significance of block runners in try-scoring situations.
Renowned for their innovative set plays, the Storm went back to the drawing board after a disallowed try in round three to come up with ways to work around the stricter interpretation.
"We did change a little bit," Bellamy said.
"A few of our plays we changed and a couple we put on the shelf.
"That's a little bit frustrating for us but we might stick with our new version."
The Wests Tigers will get a first-hand look of that version on Monday night at AAMI Park.
Bellamy, however, was more concerned with his team's defence than its attack despite their 4-0 win-loss start to the season.
"If someone said, especially with the schedule we've had, that we'd be four games up then we would have grabbed that with both hands,'' Bellamy said on Friday.
"There's been a few signs of a couple of things that we probably haven't been that good at in the last couple of games.
"Defensively there's just a couple of things we need to pick up on."
The Storm did leak five tries to almost fall to Brisbane in their last outing, with their right-hand touchline manned by winger Matt Duffie, the most obvious weakness.
Duffie is under pressure with premiership winger big Fijian Sisa Waqa back in contention after recovering from a cut hand.
With veteran Braith Anasta shifting to halfback for the Tigers, Bellamy expects their faltering attack to finally fire.
The former NSW playmaker will replace youngster Jacob Miller who was a casualty after their 22-0 loss to Manly.
"You always know they're going to be a dangerous attacking team, especially with guys like Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall in there,'' Bellamy said.
"They have probably been a little bit up and down but we expect them to be at their best."
Anasta hasn't started at halfback in six years, the last time memorable for all the wrong reasons with his Roosters suffering a 56-0 loss.
Bellamy believed Anasta's footy nous and improved skills would mean a different outcome this time around.
"He's a pretty complete package but Braith's best position is probably in the halves," he said.
"He should be a little bit more comfortable in the halves so that means he'll probably play really well."
