I don't expect any of them to be in the top 10 in the next 10 years, most of them will be journeymen/jobbers but 1 will have a good run and be a solid top 16-32. Impossible to say which

I've left Greaves out as its impossible to tell whether she will ever play the full tour

Ostlund- amazingly smooth throw and dismantled Dirk on the ET a few weeks back. Very underrated.

Crabtree- very good A game, poor B game. Improved massively in a few years. Would benefit massively from having a tour card, longer he stays on the CT, he may decline.

Greaves if she plays- great potential and already the best woman player ever by standard. Unlikely to commit to reach potential imo.

Rafferty- been around for ages and underwhelmed a bit not gonna lie. Thought he'd kick on more.

Bates- too hit and miss and will implode due to an overly leany throw and weird oche habits.

Walker- the youngest and most untapped potential. Need to see more to make a more informed opinion.

Roes- terrible attitude when throwing and not a lot of conviction in his style. Won't last imo.

Going to boldly punt that Walker will be a very good player. Already qualified for the UK Open and progressing at a natural level. Greaves can be as good as she really wants to be, Ostlund I think is the hardest one to make a strong prediction on.

Not convinced any of them will have tour cards in 10 years time TBH. Greaves is the best but doubt she will ever want to try for a TC again.

Of the rest

Anton Ostlund
Nathan Rafferty
Cam Crabtree
Owen Bates
Jenson Walker
Bradley Roes
Team Corvid 2024 consists of the following 12 players.
