Has there been any more word on MvG and wether he will be dropping out through injury?

Haven't seen anything on MvG having an injury preventing him from competing this week at the Players.

Not heard anything else at the moment, just what VVDV hinted at - no doubt there will be an announcement tomorrow if he is dropping out.

Sorry to be a pain, what was it that VvdV hinted at?

Not heard anything so i'm assuming he's showing up. I'm sure we would have heard before now if not Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Would these rumours mean that Hamilton at least have a chance ?

One always has a chance I suppose, but I wouldn't be putting any monies on Andy at any odds methinks.

MvG is that good he could still beat people without a hand.

Not without his right hand Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images. He admitted that he's useless with his left.

I may be following the wrong path here but I cant but think Suljovic could turn Barney over here.

Barney mentioned after his win over Glenn Durrant that the slower pace of Duzza caused him problems now I cant help but feel the snail pace and skill of Suljovic could see him defeat Barney in this encounter. At only Even money on the exchange it seems as though there isnt fantastic value in the way of a flutter on Suljovic so maybe the bookies being a bit cautious on this one also?

[JoelH]

Suljovic had a better year than Barney and is higher ranked in the OoM. So he is IMHO the favorite in that match, slowhand or not.

First head has fallen, did not expect to be Wilson.
