Re: SRP R10 Crusaders v Rebels
Can start my first match thread of the season! Give MrB and others a break. This will be the 2nd Crusaders game I'm heading to this year. Think odds are again weirdly in favour of the home team considering the Rebels have looked MUCH better than the Force this year. Crusaders should get some cattle...
