Couldn't disagree more with your comparison of Bellusci with Kamara and Andy Hughes. Those were 2 limited players who gave their all for the team and the shirt (side before self) and were loved / respected by the fans for that commitment. Bellusci comes across as a nasty piece of work who is in it for himself and seems to expect adoration as a right, and that's without commenting on his awful defensive performances.
Personally would like to see Phillips get another chance - he has energy and life. And give Mulhern a run out from the U-21s. We need something fresh and different.
