To be honest, I see Anthony McGill having the most influence on these days.
Ronnie and John still are one of the best players, as well as Yan Bingtao. Peter Ebdon still has the beauty and style. Bit of a strange times to be perfectly honest but I hope the things will clarify soon. If Ronnie will win in Sheffield, then fair play to him. Same thing must be said about Mark Selby. If he wins after a bit of a struggle-season then fair play to him. But might be that McGill takes it. Who knows. At least I won´t.
I can´t see any of them would be playing because of the money. If having some money it can make you feel good about doing your job well. Or that you can live alone where just ever wanting to.

If one of them wasn't around, the others would have won so much more.
In other words, they were in each others way.

Indeed. Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry did not have to compete with two other guys who were the same age and who were two of the greatest players ever...
If John Higgins or Ronnie would have been the same age as Hendry and would have turned pro in the same year as Hendry... How many world titles would Hendry have? Three or four, maybe five max I think.

Williams is way too cool to be whiny, nerdy Gohan.
He's (Future) Trunks.

IMO 3 or 4.
Hendry doesn't have an all round game to compete with Ronnie and Higgo, he's all about attack. If his offensive game works, he's a contender for tourneys. If it doesn't, he's lost. He doesn't have a B game to rely on. This is the reason he didn't manage to win any relevant titles in the 00's.

It shows the sad state of snooker that these guys are still at the top of the game.
Higgins and Williams are nowhere near the standard they once were, and yet are still winning events. The standard of snooker is certainly not at an all time high. In fact it is deteriorating.

Williams is as good as he's been in 10+ years, and Higgins beat the one who IS playing as good as he ever has today.
But yes, it's a shame that there are so few 20-somethings taking the game to the old boys. Strength in depth there may be (I'm not convinced about that personally) but the best of the best are pretty much the same as they were 10 years ago.

You're right. And even though he's not my favourite player I would like to see him play well again for the sake of a better competition. But he's playing as bad as I've seen him for a while so we'll see.

Higgins of 1998 would thrash Higgins 2018, and Williams of 1999 would thrash Williams today. I am convinced of that.

Anyone who says Ronnie is playing as well as he ever has is smoking crack. He's winning as much as he ever has, but that's not the same thing.

And another title goes to a Class of 92 player. What a season this has been so far. Isn't it fair to say that O'Sullivan,Higgins and Williams (in that order) are the three top contenders to win the World Championship now?
