Surely if he's Australian he would support Renegades over CPHW?

2015-09-19 08:03

Well wolves are his favourite animal, so I guess he likes them over Renegades. That and we insist on being different.

2015-09-19 08:28

Lmao, sums up my siblings, I'm European but I live in Aus, I support both so gonna be tough if they face each other! Renegades should beat dig and they will beat them again in the decider, hoping for renegades to do well
