Mark Webster and Laura Turner speaking on the latest episode of the Love the Darts podcast ran through the World Grand Prix including the mind games between Michael van Gerwen, Peter Wright and Gerwyn Price.

For the Sky Sports pundit and commentary duo, they believe it is only good for the sport and only enhances it.

"It's good, but do they generally believe everything they say? I'm not convinced Peter Wright thought he was going to walk all over Michael van Gerwen and win the event. It's an event he's not got the best record in, even though Wright has got a great CV," said Webster on the Love The Darts Podcast.

"I like sitting back and watching it unfold because Gerwyn Price was taking a back seat, wasn't he? And then he said 'I'll have my say'

"Michael just did his talking on the board really. He did his little interview, but largely stayed away. I love it and long may it continue because it adds to the game.

"Don't forget, away from the TV circuit they play in exhibitions as well so they wind each other up there as well. It just adds a little bit of spice as well."

"It's a bit of banter more than anything. Not sure how much they actually believe what they're saying half the time but it's fun to watch," added Turner.
