I put a lot of stock into AHL success and I have been voting Phillips since 4. The onus the last couple of years seems to be bulldog attitudes, skill, then IQ. I think they are going with a rather reign in a stallion than push a mule.
Mangiapane seems to be our first and best example of that philosophy, and I think over the years you will see lots of Mangiapane’s come through the system.
