Thats the problem with Hawkins ,he has no self belief ,he is too nice ,no edge ,plays a great game with immense talent but he is a serial loser ,I know he's won 3 ranking events but he should have won more with his game .People may not like Trump or Ronnie not heaping plaudits very often on their opponents when they get beat ,but they hate losing to people like Hawkins as they think they should not be beat by them ,Henrdy was the same , a bad loser ,but the best players are .Lesowski needs to man up too as he's heading the same way in to loserville.

Steve Davis might be a nice guy now but he wasn’t as an opponent back in the day .
Really looking forward to the final today , it should be a good match . Personally I’d like to see Robertson win only due to the fact it will give him more confidence going into the worlds . As mentioned previously he is overdue a win on the biggest of stages.
I’ve managed to secure a day pass to the man cave from the other half

If you flip the argument on it's head, there are plenty of unpleasant characters in sport who amounted to nothing. Being an arsehole doesn't automatically guarantee success and being a nice person doesn't mean you'll never win anything.
