Revealed: Crowe phone call and hang up that sealed Burgess’ Rabbitohs fate - Hoops
At the core of it is a perception superstar fullback Latrell Mitchell rolls to one set of rules while the rest of the playing group is expected to roll to another.

With Crowe becoming increasingly frustrated with Burgess’ refusal to give an inch he asked big Sam again if the champion Rabbitohs forward could put the club first?
Crowe and Burgess share an extremely tight-knit rapport dating back more than a decade to when the Hollywood actor first brought the emerging international tough nut forward to South Sydney in 2010.
