Aussie actor Russell Crowe has always worn his <br>
<br>
heart 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 <br>
<br>
struggling at the time.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Under his leadership, the Rabbitohs achieved financial stability and secured a premiership victory <br>
<br>
in 2014, ending a 43-year drought. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe was instrumental in recruiting star players like Sam Burgess and Greg Inglis to the team, which significantly improved their performance. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
He has often been seen passionately supporting the Rabbitohs at games, with media capturing moments of his <br>
<br>
animated reactions during key matches. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However the Gladiator star has vowed to show more of a poker face at future <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
Rabbitohs and is a 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 since he <br>
<br>
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 the club, <br>
<br>
has vowed to temper his emotions from now on<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Nah [losing doesn't impact my mood]...it is what it is, I can't affect that outcome so <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
by showing my passion in the grandstands was potentially giving the media <br>
<br>
outlets a way of mentally affecting the team. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>'There was all these photos of me strangling the imaginary referee.</u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'So, I thought, 'I'm gonna stop doing that'. I'd go to a game and <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
cool...because you know I think about it from the players' perspective.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
They don't want to see the boss looking like <br>
<br>
he's pissed off in the Monday newspaper. So you've got to <br>
<br>
be cool about it.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>Souths fans - including Crowe - endured a torrid 2024 season, finishing 16th with a <br>
<br>
7-17 record. </u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Injuries and suspensions played their part but defensive frailties were the biggest issue,<br>
<br>
with the Rabbitohs 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 <br>
<br>
Jason Demetriou and re-instating former mentor Wayne Bennett<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u><strong>Souths fans will be hoping to see a fit and firing Latrell Mitchell back on the park next season</strong></u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Injuries compounded their struggles, with key players <br>
<br>
like Campbell Graham missing the entire season and Latrell Mitchell limited to <br>
<br>
11 appearances.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The season's disappointments led to the dismissal of coach Jason Demetriou, with Wayne Bennett set to return as head coach in 2025.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Looking ahead to 2025, the Rabbitohs have bolstered their roster <br>
<br>
by signing English halfback Lewis Dodd, Euan Aitken and Josh Schuster.<br>
<br>
