He asked. You answered! 22 year old Englishman Shaun Blockley, who'll be in Australia next year, put the question to Twitter as to which NRL team he should support in 2017... The response from our Digital Rabbitohs was as immense as it was heartwarming! Check out how it all unfolded!
It all started with a simple question...
Been looking for an @NRL team & shortlisted it down to @sydneyroosters @SSFCRABBITOHS @NRL_Dragons tell me why I should choose your team!\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa
