Over the next 3-4 years can Endo and Shodai get above 50% performers?

You've clearly never been to Lords. -

Well it isn't cricket to give your opponent an extra unnecessary push once they are out of the dohyo. -

There's some would say what's the point of a sport that generally only lasts a few seconds. -

I would reckon that appreciation of Abi has grown considerably over the course of the year. His stats tell the story and his performances justify his place in the rankings. -

I understand people are disappointed in the yusho race but Terunofuji, seriously? -

There's always something of interest. Just how the junior sanyaku rankings will play out is enough to keep me watching. -

With all those close records in the top division there should be plenty of meaningful bouts over the next 5 days. -

I would suggest it's a psychological thing. Even when doing well opponents are aware of just who they face and what he's capable of. Their advantage can simply evaporate as they realise the possibility of victory. -

The early drop outs have left us with no all sanyaku bouts tomorrow. -

Well he could be still on a run next basho. And its not the usual tough second week for him. But he certainly looks below par this time out. -

I'd say unlikely. The ranks below sekiwake are performing better than Y/O/S so far. -
The heightened sense of anticipation as a new tournament approaches can do strange things to ones imagination.

I'm certain that once the powers that be realise it's affecting GTB then expect an early announcement of the sanyaku numbers. -

Or lucky it didn't happen before his tenth win or before he'd earnt the playoff. If it was going to happen it could have been worse. -

As an M1 he was always going to have a tough first week. The quality of opponent had much to do with his improvement. -

I'd give him the benefit of any doubt. Looked like a fairly open palm. And he was pushing straight down so need to grab anything. -

The 3 favourites all looking to add to their one yusho. Should be an exciting last few days. Is this the much anticipated new era beginning? -

Unfortunately I think that is very much the situation now for Tochinoshin. Although i would be pleased to see him regain something like his best form. -

Can't really agree. He is the only person I could imagine keeping himself up like that for that long. Therefore not a lucky move but part of his repertoire. -

Plenty of Kotoshogiku's victories?
