"Mate I'm sorry about that game then. That's twice crowd have been on your back last two games against me and I don't want to win like that. I wanna beat you when we're both 100%. I just wish people met the real you as you're one of the most genuine guys on tour pal and always have been," wrote Smith.

Price replied with similar praise telling him to go and win the title. "Honestly mate you're a great guy and a World Class player, sometimes I can handle it and players let me off. Just not tonight or the worlds, it's your time mate go get it."
