Hollywood actor and South Sydney Rabbitohs co-owner Russell Crowe has thrown his weight behind efforts to retain schoolboy prodigy Joseph Suaalii at the National Rugby League club, local media reported on Tuesday.
The Australian newspaper said Crowe had flown Suaalii, the 16-year-old back's family members and Rabbitohs managers by private jet to his rural estate in New South Wales state.The Rabbitohs signed Suaalii to a three-year under-age contract in February and hope to tie him to an adult deal when he becomes eligible on his 17th birthday on Saturday.
The Rabbitohs declined to comment on Crowe's involvement but chairman Nick Pappas said they were"unashamed in their desire" to keep the teenager, who has represented Australia in junior rugby sevens.
