RUSSELL CROWE and his business partner are set to take over the South Sydney rugby league club, one of the oldest and most famous clubs in the sport.
The club initially resisted Crowe's offer, its membership split over the decision before coming to an agreement late on Sunday. Local newspapers reported the Oscar-winning actor had given an impassioned speech to members of the financially struggling club before a 75 percent majority voted to accept the offer.
South Sydney DRLFC Chairman NICHOLAS PAPPAS described it as a momentous day for the club, giving it the opportunity to at last operate on a level playing field with the other NRL clubs.
