“But when that changes, will they keep winning? I don’t think so”: Gerwyn Price believes Humphries and Littler’s fortune will soon alter
Gerwyn Price has sparked a major debate in the darts world after claiming that Luke Humphries and Luke Littler’s recent dominance may not last once “luck” stops falling their way. The Welshman, never afraid to speak his mind, suggested that both players have benefited from favourable moments during matches — and questioned whether their winning streaks will continue when those margins tighten.
Price’s comments came after another deep run at a major tournament, where he once again crossed paths with the sport’s two biggest forces of 2025: world champion Luke Littler and world No.1 Luke Humphries.
Price: “Everything is falling for them at the moment”
Speaking candidly, Price praised both Littler and Humphries for their quality but insisted that elements of fortune have played a key role in their unstoppable runs.
“Fair play to them — they’re playing great darts,” Price said.
“But everything is falling for them right now. Every bounce-out goes their way, every mistake from an opponent gets punished. Their timing is unbelievable.”
However, the Iceman wasn’t convinced such momentum could last forever.
“But when that changes, will they keep winning? I don’t think so. You can’t have everything go for you all the time. When the luck swings the other way, that’s when we’ll see what happens.”
A Warning — or Motivation?
Price’s remarks have already split opinion among fans and pundits.
Some argue that his comments reflect the reality of elite sport: even the best players ride waves of form and fortune. Others believe that Littler and Humphries have simply been the superior finishers and scorers, leaving little room for excuses.
Still, Price’s comments are likely to fuel the growing rivalry between the trio — who have dominated headlines, finals, and storylines throughout the 2025 season.
Humphries and Littler Unbothered by the Noise
Neither Littler nor Humphries has publicly fired back at Price, but those close to their camps suggest both players are focused purely on results, not chatter.
Littler, in particular, has often brushed aside criticism about his rise, insisting his success comes from hard work rather than luck. Humphries, meanwhile, has made a habit of responding to doubters with titles, averages over 100, and clinical finishing on the biggest stages.
Price: Still a Major Threat
Despite being seen by some as the “third man” behind the two Lukes, Price remains one of the strongest competitors in world darts. His scoring power, intensity, and big-stage experience still make him a dangerous opponent — and his belief that the tide will turn adds even more fire to upcoming clashes.
A Rivalry That’s Only Getting Hotter
With the World Championship on the horizon and more major events ahead, Price’s comments have added another storyline to what is already a blockbuster season.
If Littler and Humphries continue winning, Price’s words may come back to haunt him.
If they falter, he’ll feel vindicated.
Either way, darts fans are gearing up for even more drama between three of the sport’s biggest personalities — and Price’s bold prediction has ensured the spotlight won’t be shifting anytime soon.
