...on TV???

And how good are they?

Well that's an ironic question but I'll presume you mean "players" not "contestants"

If you look here real quick you will see a good indicator.
So, we're looking at people like Dylan Taylor, James Nguyen, Kevin Stoba, Giles Hutchings, Jen Steadman, Josh Hurst, etc, (but not me cos I'm crap) as the best players who haven't been on TV. You can also see they are of a similar standard to some previous series' semi-finalists/finalists/winners.

Dale Levell.

Rob Foster

Matthew of Bayfield.

Any of them scheduled to appear on TV, or have any plans to?

Pretty much all of 'em

Cheers guys

Rob said to me at Lincoln that he didn't want to. Shame, he'd kill it.

Rob is the prospective contestant I've most looked forward to seeing on the show.

Jen's gonna be the most fun to watch

It'll be different... but yeah, why not?

Jen, you've misunderstood me - Rob has been on apterous since 2009, so I've most (i.e., longest) looked forward to seeing him on Countdown. Of course I eagerly await your TV appearance(s) too!

Wow, that was smooth. I'm not even being sarcastic, I've not even seen oil that slick...

Anyone know what's up with Rob? He hasn't played since the 12th Feb

Very strong letters & conundrum player, he'd be up there and challenging for any given series.

I asked at the finals and he mentioned how he was now at uni and very busy with that. Said he wouldn't be appearing too soon.

He's signed up for the Masters so should be around again soon. He'd definitely be near or at the top of my 'list of players who should get their arse on the show', closely followed by Matt Bayfield. Both are co-event winners so they really have no excuse other than 'I can't be arsed'.

Is also a good excuse, I suppose.

Not ironic, just a bit thick on my part... Title edited!

There are also players who have been on but have since improved massively, so haven't been on in anything like the form they are now. E.g. Dan McColm and Bob De Caux.

Edit - Also Drew Halliburton.
