Russell Crowe springs some Coffs surprises for Rabbitohs | Herald Sun

SOUTH Sydney training has been pretty funky at times in recent years with co-owner Russell Crowe taking a hands-on approach with the NRL club.

Ten-pin bowling, bike rides and a fly-on-the-wall documentary were all part of being one of Crowe's glamorous Rabbitohs under youthful ex-coach Jason Taylor.

Distracting or not for the players, it seems that won't change under new mentor - and NRL veteran - John Lang.

The Rabbitohs are in Coffs Harbour, near to where Crowe owns a property, to prepare for Saturday's trial against the Gold Coast.

The north coast visit has become a tradition since the Hollywood star took over.

Michael Crocker Signs With Rabbitohs

Michael Crocker signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs

Having met Rabbitohs coach Jason Taylor three weeks ago, Crocker received the now obligatory phone call from Russell Crowe - reserved for prized signings - urging him to come aboard.

And while there was plenty of talk about premierships, winning cultures and Bunnies history, it was Crowe's 1993 movie Silver Brumby that dominated conversation.

"We actually spoke about horses . . . my wife's (Sally Carne) favour- ite child movie was one of Russell's first movies, so we had a good chat about that actually," Crocker said yesterday, after signing a 3½-year deal, believed to be worth up to $250,000 a season.

"It was pretty funny actually. Probably not what you'd expect."

Rabbitohs Big Win Over Roosters

RABBITOHS 52 DEFEAT ROOSTERS 12

From Sportal.com.au:

South Sydney has registered its biggest win over the Roosters in 57 years, belting its closest rival 52-12 before a big crowd at the Sydney Football Stadium.

AND

When Sutton's perfectly weighted crossfield kick was plucked out of the air by Fetuli Talanoa and planted centimetres from the deadball line, the Bunnies were on their way to a 24-6 advantage with less than half an hour gone.

That prompted Souths owner Russell Crowe to deliver a Roman coliseum-style thumbs down to Roosters fans.

WAY TO GO

RABBITOHS!

The Rabbitohs next match will be against the Parramatta Eels on March 20th!

Rabbitohs Sell Out Redfern Oval

The Rabbitohs have the first sell-out of rugby league for 2009! A crowd of 5000 will view the Rabbitohs "members only" match against Wests Tigers on February 8th.

******************************************************************

Redfern Return a Sellout

Souths chief executive Shane Richardson said the club could have sold out the ground twice over, with the final 300 tickets unwanted by Tigers members snapped up last week.

"We could have got 8,000 or 10,000 if we'd wanted to but we only had 5,000 to do it without putting in temporary grandstands,'' Richardson said. "It's a very positive start to the season and there's lots of people looking forward to returning to Redfern.

"Every fan there is going to be a ticketed member - it's a first in rugby league. We sold out our half of the tickets a month and a half ago, the last ones were just the extra 300 we got back from the Tigers.''
