• In an apology published on Saturday, senior writer Paul Kent said he had “inferred” in his column on April 24 this year that Crowe had “betrayed [South Sydney stalwart] George Piggins for his own financial benefit and ... engaged in a campaign of lies, slander and misinformation against Mr Piggins” before he bought the Rabbitohs in 2006.

• The apology to Crowe was made after lawyers for the actor and businessman, barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC and Sydney solicitor Bill Kalantzis, issued a concerns notice. The newspaper offered to make amends, heading off a defamation trial.

• “I now accept that these statements were false and defamatory and should never have been published,” Kent said.
