What about this article:

I do believe he can win another one, but needs to get his act together at The Crucible and just play his natural game, dont let the pressure get too much to him.

Of course he can win another one. If he puts enough practice in and takes it serious.

Yes - I think he mentioned retirement at some point

This time though he might be serious. I mean, he's 45 in December, he can't keep forever at the top level, and he knows this.

I have a feeling he will win one more and retire on a high.

Yes I think so as well.

If he wins one more he won’t retire straight away. The pull of equaling the record will be just too strong. He’ll at least defend the title.

Yeah if he wins another he should at least try and see if he can win it again.

My honest thought is he might win another, but end his career on 6 and forever behind Hendry. Still, 6 and be the same number as Davis would be remarkable, and the GOAT debate would be interesting, because only 1 behind is much different than 2.

Yeah I saw it, pretty cool to see 2 GOATS talking like that it's probably the best discussion between 2 snooker players you could have

and I agree I think Ronnie's done in the next 2 seasons, his game has fallen off a cliff after 2 great seasons but he didn't manage to win a WC in those 2 seasons where he was winning 5 tournaments per season, that's jaded him and made him lose some love for the game, you could see it this season.

No matter how impressive your longevity is, father time always catches up just the way sport works

Remains to be seen if he can have a Federer 2017 Wimbledon or a Tiger Woods Masters moment again before retirement

Enjoyed the video chat. And playing as many tournaments as you can before packing in makes a lot sense. Winning one more World title will be the biggest challenge. And I think retirement will come somewhere in the next 3-5 years.

He's no Davis who will accept losing in first rounds just for the sake of enjoying playing Snooker.

My only fear is if he goes ahead and does that, he might have brilliant seasons like the last 2, winning 5 tournaments each, but then fall short at the Worlds, either because of lack of motivation or simply doesnt care
