Barry might have still lost, but the match would be closer, I think.
Yeah it was a real turning point.

If Ronnie cant do it, that would be lovely mate.
Neil far too good a player to only be on 1WC title.

Neil Robertson wins The Masters, barring snookers.

Robbo is wrapping up the big titles since 2019. CoC, UK, Tour Champs, Masters.

Good point, that. Just one big one missing from that list.

its the final thing missing. If he wins a second World title his career record would be pretty strong. Probably enough to be an All-Time Great for most people.

Get in Robbo, absolutely battered Barry and now once more in good shape for the Worlds (although he can be inconsistent in April)

Sadly I don’t see that happening.

He always is, but fails to deliver. Only one semi-final since he became champion, too poor.
Needs to get rid of that mentality that The Crucible is too small. it is what it is, and he usually plays great in the opening 2 rounds, so he needs to keep it going.

Is it just me or did Robbo not actually play that well this week?
His potting was reliable as ever but he didn’t seem as clinical as usual in terms of breakbuilding.

He didn't you're right. But he won, that's what matters in the end.

No, I would agree with that

Thanks guys for all the congrats, I work hard supporting Robbo from my sofa and it makes me feel good that it’s appreciated (lol).
Yeah, Robbo is certainly technically capable of winning the WC but just needs to sort out the mental side.

Ditto. Over the week he made quite a few misses at key points in the breaks that would have kept his opponents seated. Wasn’t peak Robbo, but good enough to win.

Robbo did enough, it’s about conserving energy. He could learn a lot from that during the worlds.

Maybe he peaks too early there? We've discussed this before.
I don't think you can plan your good form though. It's not as if he'll try to play bad in the first rounds. Most likely if he did that he would end up losing. I'm thinking of his losses against Milkins for instance.

1) Barry can beat anyone on his day except in an important final
2) Judd is out of his winning ways. He might be back to his 1-2 tournament wins a year mode again
