I see future world champion Josh Rock hasn't qualified for any, nor has future premier league player Scott Williams. Maybe they're just one year wonders who 'ave been overhyped, like John Walton
Josh Rock doesn't have to qualify as he is seeded for Euro events after 1 year on the tour, so not sure that you can write off this 'future world champion' just yet
I was right about Scott Williams though, I cant see him, doing much he is a bit incosistent. Josh Rock is a good darts player but will he be world champ, no chance, I don't hate the lad but I think he'll be top 20 at best. Misses to many doubles

"Martin Phillips could have won a world title or two" -Paul Nicholson
He hadn't got the game to be top 10 yet, he needs to work on his doubles. Maybe though in the future, and he might win the masters or another non ranking TV tournament

Would that be the Josh Rock who doesn't have to qualify as he is seeded?

Didn't even realise this was free to Sky customers on Viaplay Xtra, rather than shell out for the mainstream Viaplay channels at £12pm.
The production quality against Channel 5 was excellent in comparison.
The 3,500 crowd last night was mental.
Fancy Dress outfits also much better in Leverkusen.

Have always watched these Euro Tour events on PDCTV. Following your notification have watched tonight on Viaplay Xtra on the Sky platform. Quality of picture fantastic, at least 1/2 a leg ahead of PDC.TV and was able to put on record and watch between playing darts tonight without missing any of the action. Thank you Danny for advising on this.
