Aussie actor Russell Crowe has always worn his heart <br>
<br>
on his sleeve - sometimes to his detriment - but he has vowed to reel it in when watching his beloved Souths play NRL matches from now on.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe became a co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs <br>
<br>
in 2006, alongside businessman Peter Holmes à Court, with the aim of revitalising the NRL club that was struggling at the time.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Under his leadership, the Rabbitohs achieved financial stability and secured a premiership victory in 2014,<br>
<br>
ending a 43-year drought. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe was instrumental in recruiting star players like Sam Burgess and Greg Inglis to <br>
<br>
the team, which significantly improved their performance. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
He has often been seen passionately supporting the Rabbitohs <br>
<br>
at games, with media capturing moments of his animated reactions during key <br>
<br>
matches. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However the Gladiator star has vowed to show more of a poker <br>
<br>
face at future games for one big reason. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hollywood actor Russell Crowe is a part owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs and is a <br>
<br>
constant figure in the stands of home games<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe bought into the club in 2006 and has been a passionate supporter of the club <br>
<br>
since he was a child<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe, who was instrumental in bringing premiership players like Greg Inglis and Sam Burgess (pictured) to <br>
<br>
the club, has vowed to temper his emotions from now on<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Nah [losing doesn't impact my mood]...it is what <br>
<br>
it is, I can't affect that outcome so you sort of just have to accept what's going on,' he told Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'A long time ago when I'd be going to Rabbitohs games when my kids were little and stuff, and I realised that by showing my passion in the grandstands was potentially giving the media outlets a way of mentally affecting the team. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>'There was all these photos of me strangling the imaginary <br>
<br>
referee.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'So, I thought, 'I'm gonna stop doing that'. I'd go to a game and see what happens then I'd go backstage and you can swear. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'But when I'm watching the game, I try and keep my cool...because you <br>
<br>
know I think about it from the players' perspective.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
They don't want to see the boss looking like he's pissed off <br>
<br>
in the Monday newspaper. So you've got to be cool about it.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Souths fans - including Crowe - endured a torrid 2024 season, finishing 16th with a 7-17 record. </b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Injuries and suspensions played their part but defensive frailties were the biggest issue, with the Rabbitohs <br>
<br>
conceding an average of 28.4 points per game - their worst since 2006.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Rabbitohs have gone back to the future by sacking coach Jason Demetriou and re-instating former mentor Wayne <br>
<br>
Bennett<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><u>Souths fans will be hoping to see a fit and firing Latrell Mitchell <br>
<br>
back on the park next season</u></strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Injuries compounded their struggles, with <br>
<br>
key players like Campbell Graham missing the entire season and Latrell Mitchell <br>
<br>
limited to 11 appearances.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The season's disappointments led to the dismissal of coach Jason Demetriou,<br>
<br>
with Wayne Bennett set to return as head coach <br>
<br>
in 2025.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Looking ahead to 2025, the Rabbitohs have bolstered their roster by <br>
<br>
signing English halfback Lewis Dodd, Euan Aitken and Josh Schuster.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
