really not sure about the QWCs, Morgan and Bambers over Evo, Fitz and Smethurst especially, but I kinda see why they have given it to the young guys...certainly makes the much-vaunted 1990 lot realise they aren't seen as the future anymore and need to start performing!!
If the WC is a reward for work/rankings, I really don't understand the lack of one in the first instance for Rice/Thornley. If it's a strategic decision to be made by the team, then perhaps they opted to qualify, on the grounds that it would give them a chance to replace their points from last year rather than facing a Bryans or Mirnyi/Nestor type match-up in the first round and losing out?
the wimby site actually has it listed as 9 mens Q WC's available which seems odd, that could mean both blooms and corrie get one, but why would they wait to announce it rather than tell us yesterday.

I will be gutted if evo doesnt make it---by far best player in this draw
I have no issue with Evo having to go through this, he is short on matches as he hasnt played for a while and not to be harsh but if he can't get through this he doesn't deserve to be in qualifying
