I know it is hard but maybe we have to look at this rationally. I'm sure he got feedback while he was with the club on what he needs to work on. He may have been the leading scorer but there are a lots of players that never get a shot. If size is an issue maybe he needs to bulk up. We all want him to succeed, he has worked really hard to get to this point, but sometimes thats how things roll. A lot of us had these same concerns with Oliver Kylington but he found a way to play Darryls game to Darryls expectations dispute not getting an opportunity with other coaches.
Darryl is tough and has high standards, I think that goes along with his lofty goals. Philips is just going to have to find a way to show he belongs. It is frustrating but in the end we have to be rational about it.
