Obviously want ROS to win, but I'd be happy too if Kyren won. Like his style of play and overall attitude.

Wilsons only hope is if Ronnies level drops like it did against Murphy in last years final. And even then it'd be a very close match.

Ronnie is very good in non-ranking events


This season yes.

And he didnt do too bad in the only ranker he entered did he...

Well he got slaughtered by Mark Davis so if that's the measure.....

Not a proper win for Davis as Ronnie clearly had other things on his mind. I wouldn't actually be surprised if Ronnie tanked that match on purpose to try and atone for his error the previous night.

Kyren reminds me of how Selby was he was reaching a lot of finals or latter stages of big events but getting Beat Selby won 3 Rankers up until he Beat Ronnie in the World Final in 2014 and lost in 8 finals since then hes lost in 1 ranking Final and won 12

What error Cloud???

I could have sworn he did not notice that he had disturbed the reds....

It's all forgotten now.

Actually I see some comparisons between his game and Selby's, very methodical players.

I'm sure if Kyren develops his game in the big pressure moments he could become a new Mark Selby so to speak.

Not identical of course because no player can match Selby apart from Higgins, but close.

Ban him Andre - it is important that you assert yourself in your early days as a mod.

Lol has SF ever been banned?

Even so, I'm quite a fair mod as long as people dont insult or offend others personal feelings. If that happens I have zero tolerence for it. Respect for others is something I take great value.

Methodical players can get the results, but they are not very entertaining to watch, thus not drawing the crowds.

I'm not a fan of Wilson at all but I gotta give the guy credit. He's a very dedicated player and been doing a good job in recent time.

He's definitely the strongest out there from the 20 something players atm. Better than Trump and their recent H2H battles obviously prove it.

And Trump in fact might be even only the third on that list because even Lisowski's looking stronger than him atm.

That is infact factually wrong.


you need players like Kyren or in the Past Steve Davis to counter the flair players it would be very boring if every match featured same style of play.

Badsnookerplayer is a bit passive-agressive sometimes in his posts.He likes to discredit Ronnie and wind up Ronnie fans every chance he gets. But when you point it out, he denies it. Saying Ronnie is good at winning non-ranking events is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard...
