Mark Joyce is very local to his mom.

Doesn’t mean you have to support them.


<laugh>

Holt’s a good lad, though. Anyone that loves the Roses is ok by me.

André, thanks, that makes sense!

Any rookie that can weather the storm of Fergal in WC qualifiers is doing very well.

It's more that Fergal O'Brien is not doing well. Lots of inexplicable misses. Liam Davies can play better, but he's doing just enough.

How to refs feel about this Andre? Would you rather do it yourself?


Yes but if players do it there's no harm in it.

I will support Ng On Ye in the last women tournament.
She is the only woman (maybe with Mink) showing something on the world tour, and is on the way to be the only woman dropping off the tour.
She deserves to stay on the tour way more than Reanne.

I agree that Ng and Mink are starting to show real promise. Some impressive performances from them. Baipat knocked in some amazing pots, positional play let her down though.

Positional play seems to be the big drawback for all of them, and also the difference in why Ng and Mink are performing best.
