Big Guns Comment:
If Chris wants to go fishing… I am in.
You can’t beat skull-dragging a 40kg monster up from the deep blue with a 200kg line!!!! Oh yeah!!!
Coming down to have a crack at Australias best from up North Queensland way. There is no better way to learn the craft then up against the best in the land. Good on ya Chris.
Big Guns has Chris at $151.00 to win the title.

Big Guns Comment:
This guy is the ‘Ice Man’ of Territory 8-Ball, underestimate
him at your peril.
He may look like a well seasoned drunk from Darwin, but let
me assure you all… he was only holding that Jim Beam
for somebody else while they went to the toilet.

Chris rates as a $26.00 chance to be the 2010 Big Gun.

Big Guns Comment:
A former Tassie star that now lives on the NSW north coast who has little fear of the big names. He has played them all a thousand times at national titles and other tournaments. Damo can handle himself quite well on the pool table, although, the best of 21 may be a big test his long range fuel tank when he is deep into a big match.
Last years NSW team captain will be tough to beat if not treated with respect. I can’t believe I let him in for $250! The bookies have him placed at $41.00 to win the title.
