Wade and Duzza get out of that group, no issues. Battle for the wooden spoon.
Wade and Duzza both win the other two, as for who wins when they play. I’ll wager 5-4 to one of them.

No way. Heta beats wade on current form
Tv events are where it really matters and Wade got to the final of the last one. Duzzas form on the floor is similar to Wade’s possibly worse.

"Not had enough tournaments to practise."
Correct :D

Oche's alright 👍👍at the end of the day.
Aye, he's not bad between 11:58pm and 11:59pm.

Just a shame that he's an utter div at all other times.

Not him being a dick as such, but he gave his classic fist pump when he saw MvG missed against him at the Grand Prix...he won the leg but lost the match of course

I'm on the record as not liking the group stages, that's a given.
But are this years the least interesting yet?
For all the vaunted depth of strength some of it is pretty grim.
Also, I know I always say bdo players add nothing standard wise, but does 1 in each group stimulate interest? If only for the score card?
I will watch, and no doubt enjoy it when it gets to the business end but I'm not thrilled.

I know they have done this since the 8 floor qualifiers came in but it really is a bit silly
Using the Main OoM is silly? Doing it any other way would cause a nightmare of moaning for sure. Starting with: who should be #1 seed? World Number 1, World Champion or Grand Slam champion? Poll?

I think this years' groups are the most interesting for years. We're just a bit spoiled. Everyone in the qualifier thread agreed that it was a decent batch and the floor jobbers are the worst in the event.
