    The Europeans were October, the Grand Slam was November.

    Rob Cross is some story.

    Won in his first World Championship by beating Taylor in Taylor’s last ever match.

    On course to meet MVG or Ando in this year’s final..

    Couldn’t write a more perfect script.

    And this week he has been *. We will see, but I think there are ten better players than him. I also don't think that is how the PDC works.

    Haven’t watched much this year. Is Rob Cross the real deal or was last year just a complete freak?

    He’s definitely capable of winning another imo.

    A top 5 pler.

    Aye I mean in general. Has he been winning stuff this year at all?

    Feel like the few times I’ve seen/heard about since last year, he’s getting beat.

    He's still capable of playing at the top of his own game but I think we're seeing the standard steadily climb. Guys like Aspinall, Humphries and Dobey have hit the scene this year. Who's it going to be next year? Wade doesn't have a 98-100 average game in him really bar the very odd one.

    Could be reading into it a bit too much but I get the feeling he's not making any big finals any time soon.

    Had a total outlay of about €200 on outright bets. Have Humphries playing for €3.5k, Dolan playing for €3.5k, Aspinall playing for €12k and Smith playing for €600. One of them's a guaranteed finalist.. come on Nathan!

    Hunphries has been extremely impressive this tournament!

    I hadn’t really heard of him much before the start of the worlds either. He’s been fortunate with how the draw has played out, of course, but he’s beaten some good players and his scoring has been very good.

    Don't think he's been fortunate to be fair. Bunting, Van Den Bergh, Rob Cross is far from an easy run to the last 8 vs Smith!

    He literally won 2 within the past 2 months, is this the twilight zone? :56:

    I haven't been following darts outwith the big one and he hasn't looked near his best here.
