ROS seemed to play in everything last season, including China events, but now he's playing in a handful of them.
But he said he'll see if it works out.
Something tells me he'll have to play a lot more next season, cause all of his 5 ranking event title points will come off. If he doesnt, he'll fall down the rankings and outside Top 16. He wants to safeguard his Top 16 place I think.

Thats how its going to be with Ronnie from now on.
Ronnie says he doesent Worry about rankings but the truth is he does. Basicly the higher up he can get the less he Will play.
Under the point system he would have had to play More to sustein his ranking Now though he could actually miss this whole Season and stay in the top 8.

Of course he worries about rankings. Rankings mean money and that is what he cares about.

Not only him but every other player.
They might not say it but money means a great deal to them too.
And ROS is no exception. He doesnt want to go to qualifiers. The day he does it thats when he'll consider to quit for good.

Of course money means a lot to all players but some also respect the hand that feeds them.

rubbish. I just put this week's episode of The Flash on. (I Tivoed it off of Sky One, the UK channel.)
I realised that it was episode 2 and it started last week.
Andre was right about me being a week behind. Just a couple of years early.

Wow, bad day for Wilsons. Gary lost 1-6 and Kyren is heading for a 2-6 loss, both to Chinese opponents.
