I do take your point, but MJW had to win 37 frames to win the Pro Series, nine more than Judd and Higgins had to win to win Gibraltar and the Players Champs, for example. Ranker or not, it shouldn’t be discounted.

MJW doesn't count it as a ranker.
And so does Selby by losing the Shoot-Out Final. Go figure...

Don't get fooled by a good start from Robbo, we all know how this has ended many times.
But better to start well than bad, I guess.
Your right but there is a different Aura about him than in the past Beating Ronnie over 2 sessions the way he did has given him the belief i believe was lacking before.

Love to see Robbo win another Cruce. It's been eleven years since his last one. That's crazy.

Remember when John Higgins went nine years between his first and his second?

I actually thought he was a genuine title contender until this afternoon. But this brings back too many memories of past failed campaigns.

Why, do you want to see Gary Lineker and Jermaine Jenas naked?

What if the curls are the key to Robbo's form, could be like Samson if he gets the straighteners out for week 2.
