Littler

Bonkers. The kid is amazing. Through to final. £200k with a chance to win £500k.

 

How good will he be in 5 / 10 years time?!?

 

Yes and he definitely deserved to be there ,absolutely brilliant consistent darts.
And punished opponent for missing doubles.

 

Incredible talent. Do you think the pressure gets to his opponents when they're missing doubles etc because he's only 16?

 

He,s so entertaining 2 bulls and double 16 how many players would go for that shot.The kid is amazing.

 

Without a doubt

 

That was the finish of the tournament so far .

 

The way he pummels the treble 19 is uncanny.i see a 3bulls 150 finish next.

 

His averages are consistently different level.

 

I was just gonna say that I would rather watch paint dry, then I realised I am doing that at Oakwell this season.

Good luck to the lad though.

 

Do you think he’ll continue to improve for 5-10 more years? 500k is the top prize money in this tournament. If I’d got half a million at 16 I’d never have managed to keep working as hard as I had for the next 5-10 years.
I worry he’ll peak too soon.

 

He’s just incredible. At 16…..bonkers.

 

I'd probably have been dead by time I was 18!!

 

Could he beat Taylor’s 16 world title’s he’s definitely got time on his side

 

We don’t know do we? The beauty of sport. I think he can though. A lot of darts players peak when they’ve been playing 15 / 20 years so on that basis he’s only just getting started.

I appreciate he isn’t your average darts player mind.

 

No chance for me. Much more depth now. Peak Taylor in this era would be among the favourites as he was brilliant but wouldn’t win anywhere near as much.

 

Most go for it. It’s a good percentage shot as if you hit outer bull first shot you can still finish with treble 19 and bull.

If you go for a treble and hit the single you can no longer finish. Don’t get me wrong it’s still a hell of a shot!

 

Depends if he keeps stuffing his face and consequently if he's able to actually make it onto the stage.

 

Won't be as good. At that stage he will have a target on his back and even more expected of him. He'll likely have lots of other things to think about like mortgage, children etc. At the moment his biggest worry is picking where to get his beloved pre match kebab from.

 

At £200k a final appearance/£500k a win, he won't need too many more good runs in the World Championship before a mortgage will be crossed off the list of worries.
