oh well... it had to happen.

I wouldn't mind him at the Kangaroos tbh.

 

[Dark Hunter]

I've heard he's been de-registered? As in he can't play for any club anymore? Only other player who had that done to them was Leigh Matthews. Otherwise, i'd love to see him at the Lions. Him running alongside Black and Lappin would be a beautiful thing.

 

[ash chaulk]

id like to see him playing in the amatuers tbh... can do whatever the hell he wants then.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Would gather 140 touches a game, with his 21 goals.

 

[Matt79]

Same although Judd wouldn't be too happy, finally getting away from him.

It's a tragic story, really. And with alot of people to blame as well including the media, the system, the culture etc etc.

He has no one to blame but himself for that tattoo though. Shocking.

Person mainly to blame is himself however tbh

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

So sad though. Will miss him so much.

 

[Hoggy31]

No club would be stupid enough to take him - an obvious player revolt and the most stringent of conditions will be placed on the club by the AFL and if the **** ****s up again he jeopardises the club as a whole.

 

[Hoggy31]

Maybe, but Lee Bowyer's still playing in the Prem after (off the top of my head) failing a test for cannabis, smashing up a McDonald's, beating living snot out of an Asian student & scrapping (on the pitch, during a game) with a team-mate (admittedly Kieron Dyer, who probably deserves a punch).

Not all drugs, admittedly, but there's a pattern there...

Bowyerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stunner.

Cops 'will drop' Cousins charge

Seems the stuff wasn't actually illegal. Will WC take him back now? There's still another charge though 'with failing to comply with a requirement to undergo a driver assessment.' Doesn't say if they're getting rid of that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Hmm, interesting. Hope he is re-instated.

 

[Dark Hunter]

Hope he goes to a different club tbh.

 

[ash chaulk]

naa he was sacked for breaching contract rules..hanging out with people who are considered not good.

 

[Matt79]

Reckon Cousin's lawyers might have a field day with this - expect the WCE to get sued to pay out the remainder of his contract, despite him having (still, apparently) broken the terms of the contract. And except WA Police to get sued for loss of earnings as well...

 

[howardj]

It's very sad, the whole Cousin's saga. Granted, he bought it on himself, but it's always sad to see a young person throw away the best years of their life. As a sportsman especially, he'll never get these years back.

Sorry I'm no lawyer, but if he has broken the terms of his contract, then how can he sue the WCE and win? It's nobody but himself that is caused him to end up in this situation.

 

[Matt79]

With an attitude like that, its no wonder you're not a lawyer!

I've no doubt he'll sue and probably get some kind of settlement - especially as the issue that was the "final straw" has since become a fair bit less cut and dried with the charges being dropped.

Not defending what he did, I reckon he deserves nothing - I'm just pointing out that there's plenty of room for a sharp lawyer to get into it.
