1990s
More success followed Belcher in 1990 when he was again part of the victorious Canberra team, defeating Penrith 18-14 in the grand final. Belcher was called up for the 1990 Kangaroo tour, in which he played all five test matches despite the challenge from other players such as Greg Alexander. In 1991, he was involved in his side's 19-12 Grand Final loss to Penrith. Injury ruled Belcher out of that year's test series against New Zealand, but he regained his number one spot in the Australian squad for the fullback position on the tour of Papua New Guinea, where he played in all five matches and top scored with 32 points.
1992 proved to be one of the low points of Belcher's career, with a knee reconstruction ruling him out for the season. In 1993, Belcher was re-selected for the Queensland State of Origin side, although he was dropped after the 14-10 defeat in the first match of the series. After his contract with the Raiders had expired, Canberra failed to offer him a new contract. As a result, he announced his retirement from the game on a Canberra television news program. During his career at the Raiders, Belcher won two New South Wales Rugby League premierships as well as being twice runner-up of the competition. He also scored 69 tries and scored 148 goals in his 148 games for the Raiders, which was a total of 572 points.
