If only there was vision of Benny's pitch and the Wests' directors doing their best to maintain straight faces.

Benny then fell through the trapdoor 😂

Somehow I doubt it’s the end of it no one goes into a negotiation with their highest price, I do hope he slithers away or goes public with his vision and be transparent. Tell us we won’t be relocated ect ect.

I think most of us would like a private investor/consortium involved rather than what we have now but very few if any wanted Benny Elias as part of it

Thank goodness it was rejected. This club is really cooking with gas from the top down, would hate something to destabilise it.

Wests ashfield should sack themselves. Bring back big bad Benny.

What an absolute powerhouse South’s are and what a great ownership model.

‘Humbled’ tech billionaire Cannon-Brookes buys stake in Rabbitohs

Billionaire tech guru Mike Cannon-Brookes has joined Russell Crowe and James Packer as a co-owner of the Rabbitohs after buying a stake in the NRL club.

Cannon-Brookes, the Atlassian co-founder and first Australian to become a minority stakeholder in an NBA franchise (the Utah Jazz), will own 25 per cent of South Sydney.


Crowe and Packer have reduced their stakes to 25 per cent each. The South Sydney members own the remaining quarter.

“I’m excited and humbled to be a part of this iconic club,” Cannon-Brookes said. “The South Sydney Rabbitohs are special. Not only are we the oldest, loudest and proudest – we are an organisation people truly, deeply care about.

“I’m looking forward to partnering with Russell and James and bringing what I can to the table to help the club grow to even greater heights.”

Cannon-Brookes and Crowe bonded over their climate change crusade during the bushfire crisis and have held top-level talks for more than a year over the tech guru buying into the Rabbitohs.

Cannon-Brookes and his wife Annie have pledged $1.5 billion to limit the earth’s warming to 1.5 degrees by 2030.

“I’m sure it hasn’t gone unnoticed to South Sydney members and supporters that Mike wears a white Rabbitohs hat for special occasions,” Crowe said.

“This is a very strong move for the club. It connects us to the front edge of emerging technologies and business and underlines the importance of our efforts in the community.

“Mike understands the resonance of sport in Australia, and James and I welcome his input going forward in keeping South Sydney ahead of the curve, and a game-leading organisation, on and off the field.”

The Rabbitohs announced the ownership structure change on Monday after being told by Blackcourt League Investments Pty Ltd that Cannon-Brookes had bought a third of the company.

Blackcourt has owned a 75 per cent stake in the Rabbitohs since 2006.


The Rabbitohs went on a fairytale run to this year’s NRL grand final before falling short against the Panthers.

They will start next season without master coach Wayne Bennett, who will head up the Dolphins as the NRL’s 17th team in 2023, and captain Adam Reynolds, who has left for the Broncos.

C’mon Russ?! The joint needs a winning mentality, especially from those who know how to win.

Benny Elias has no track record of winning outside league. His business record is average at best and has wrecked the Balmain side of things.

Tell you what howabout Wests Ashfield fold the merger and let Balmain go their way, oh wait. Wish people would stop p'ing on W.A,they're not perfect but they are certainly helping Balmain side of things even when they don't have to. I don't object to the thought of a remodelling of the football clubs board but it has to be considered against best practice. I don't at all support private ownership, it is just one slippery slope away from relocation.
