These are definites: Price Wright Van Gerwen Wade Anderson Smith Clayton The other 3 slots are more up for debate. Based on the last year I would go for: Cross De Sousa Van den Bergh I suspect that they wanted to go for Sharrock and they still might but after the worlds it seems a bit less plausible. 1 1 A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Cross won a major to and is back on form so he should be in . Dancing Dmitri and De Sousa are the two highest ranking players so I agree they should be in and you’ve got all the best players on merit . 1
Mumby Magic Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Think Searle may squeeze one in stead of De Sousa. Matthew Edgar tipping Sherrock to get one. Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah

Smith certainly has the ability but he's shown glimpses that the pressure can get to him and tonight is ultimate pressure. I predict 7-5 to Wright.

Mumby Magic Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 1 minute ago, Gerrumonside ref said: Who wins tonight and why? Wright. He beat a fast thrower who was heading towards a victory ground it out and won. 24 180s yesterday. Former winner. Plus it's a longer format which tends not to suit faster, rhythm players. Im a traditionalist in a way. I like former winners to win unless the winner has been the form player if that makes sense. (Kirk Shepherd got to the final in the 00s and didn't hit a 90 average). However if Smith wins he fully deserves it the way he's played. Now it my first time out in 10 days and hopefully I'll get a few throws in. 2 Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah
DavidM Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I’d like bully boy to win but he’s got a big mental hurdle to get over , and tbh I just feel snakebite is rock solid , handles big occasions really well and is playing ultra consistent darts . I feel the best two players are in the final . Unfortunately another poor start cost Anderson dearly , and Wade was always second best despite stuart pyke’s admirable efforts to talk him up . I’m pleased it’s a final without MVG and Price as well 2
Northern Eel Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Smith to blast out into an early lead, Wright to gradually claw it back. Tie-breaker to decide. Anyone's game. 1
Mumby Magic Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Itd be good if the tiebreaker was dominoes Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah

They play it a lot in the US and Japan and it's probably my favourite game to play. Might not work as well with 100+ average players. Yeah would love that. And Round the World. They'd obviously have to do doubles and trebles too! Should do DartsAid and make it for charity. 2

Maximus Decimus Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 You'd have to say Smith is looking the more likely now he's settled. Doubt Wright is done though, he's only 4-3 down despite not playing well. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League? An honest appraisal

I watched an interview once where he made out like he was playing the clown and didn't consider he would lose until it was too late. Spose it's better than saying you bottled it.
