I assume you don't read Spanish?


Because that story is quite clear that he's promoting his film and bigging up Real and Barca - though it does mention in passing that he owns Souths, the words 'rugby liga' don't appear once.

crowe was being interviewed last week about the robin hood movie

he was wearing south sydney gear whilst doing so

hes given souths jerseys to jay leno and tom cruise

souths can easily become the man utd of RL.

and like man utd, most of their fans dont come from where the team is supposed to represent

Hola tb

the soccer players had souths caps on,so im assuming he is promoting souths and the game...

Russel Crowe is good for our game and a great ambassador to his club.

Wish we had more like him!

True that.
Crowe can do more for a game than anyone.
Broncos/quins/whoever were far more popular in London when they had Branson in charge, I wonder if he still keeps an eye on results?
The more people you get like him the more people will take notice, I just hope Crowe helps out the new pro league in US

As rugby league doesn't exist outside of Catalonia it wouldn't really matter if he said 'rugby liga' as nobody would have a clue what he was on about. The fact that he mentioned a rugby club and the paper printed the name is important. People are more likely to search for australian rugby and south sydney rabbitohs on the net now than they were before his promotional visit and this article. It was also picked up by television and I must say it feels weird knowing that both I and Cristiano Ronaldo have Souths caps.

ive got one of those caps too.

gotta love souths.

kicked out of the nrl deemed to be not fit for the nrl

they get a glamorous owner, have 11,200 season ticket holders, crowds of 18,000

you just cant beat their history

they will reach 30,000 members within 5 - 10 years.

I'll never forget how they had over 100,000 people marching the streets of sydney,the passion in the rabbits around sydney is unbelievable.

and then averaged 12,000 for the next decade. Rusty saved them, good fortune for them that they had a fan who made it in Hollywood.

Better crowds that the reds ever had even though they were wooden spooners for 2 decades.

This is fantastic promotion for Souths and the game in general.

Apparently their are references to the Rabbitohs throughout his new film

Clint Eastwood is buying Wigan.

"los south sydney rabbitohs"



Souths are my Aussie team, so not meant against them!

when souths win their first premiership since 1971, i expect their crowds to top 30,000 easily

there are a couple of sydney clubs who have the history, fans and ground to get massive crowds

their push on memberships is going very well

they have one of the best packs in the nrl and isaac luke and sutton are going well

sandow is hot and cold but he is a very dangerous player

the rest of their backs are good too

If I am correct, the News Limited papers published the crowd as 10,000.





Of course, they had no agenda.

Reds:
1995 13,390

Souths
2003 9024
2004 11381
2005 12028
2006 10612


oops, how silly do you now feel?

Out of interest, do you have the crowds for the WA Reds for that 1995 season...?

I recall that great initial win over St George in the first round of 1995.

Close to 25,000 I think for that match?

Don't feel silly at all, what about the other seasons



Nice attemp at a sidestep though.

The rumour I heard involved Paul Eastwood.

The whole town? Is he setting his remake of [iHigh Plains Drifter[/i there?

Nah, True Crime. It was going to be another movie but he could only find the bad and the ugly...
