Aussie actor Russell Crowe has always worn his heart on his sleeve - sometimes to his <br>
<br>
detriment - but he has vowed to reel it in when watching his beloved <br>
<br>
Souths play NRL matches from now on.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe became a co-owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2006, alongside businessman Peter <br>
<br>
Holmes à Court, with the aim of revitalising the NRL <br>
<br>
club that was struggling at the time.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Under his leadership, the Rabbitohs achieved financial stability and secured a premiership victory in 2014, ending a 43-year drought. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Crowe was instrumental in recruiting star players like Sam Burgess and Greg Inglis <br>
<br>
to the team, which significantly improved their performance. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
He has often been seen passionately supporting the Rabbitohs at games, with <br>
<br>
media capturing moments of his animated reactions <br>
<br>
during key matches. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However the Gladiator star has vowed to show more of a poker face at future games for one <br>
<br>
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 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, 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, <br>
<br>
I can't affect that outcome so you sort of just have to <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
were little and stuff, and I realised that 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>
<b><u>'There was all these photos of me strangling the <br>
<br>
imaginary referee.</u></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 <br>
<br>
can swear. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'But when I'm watching the game, I try and keep my cool...because you know I think <br>
<br>
about it from the players' perspective.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
They don't want to see the boss looking like he's pissed off in the Monday <br>
<br>
newspaper. So you've got to be cool about it.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Souths fans - including Crowe - endured a <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
the Rabbitohs conceding an average of 28.4 points per game - their worst since <br>
<br>
2006.<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 Bennett<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>Souths fans will be hoping to see a fit and firing Latrell Mitchell back on the park next season</u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Injuries compounded their struggles, with key players like Campbell <br>
<br>
Graham missing the entire season and Latrell Mitchell limited to 11 appearances.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The season's disappointments led to the dismissal of coach Jason Demetriou, with Wayne Bennett set to <br>
<br>
return as head coach in 2025.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Looking ahead to 2025, the Rabbitohs have bolstered their roster by signing <br>
<br>
English halfback Lewis Dodd, Euan Aitken and Josh Schuster.<br>
