        How ridiculous is his tattoo - will be a shocker in 10-20 years!

            What a sin to cover that body with that ugly tatt.
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                Very good, would have been far more appropriate.

                  From an illicit drugs point of view?

                      haha, pretty funny quote, should have just stated drug free, now looks a pretty guilty party there. maybe referring to daniel kerr and alcohol, trying to distinguish between the two, but still silly statement to make.
                      If somebody says to you, "Can I ask you a question?"....isn't it a little too late?

                          I see legs waving around in the air with the head firmly entrenched in the sand. Should be the Eagles new logo

                            Cousins unfairly dismissed?

                            Sacked for being targeted by the police to promote their new laws and being in possession of a sedative without a prescription. Hardly the spectular bust that it was purported to be. Should the charges be dropped or Cousins found by the Court not to have committed an offence, should he be reinstated? Should he have ever been sacked? Probably not - the charges are obviously a beat up. Cousins is the victim in all this.

                              Refusing the drug test would have been the main reason and I am very certain the West Coast and their lawyers were comfortable that his revised contract allowed them to get rid of him.

                                It is beginning to sound like that. He's obviously been a marked man for a while, as are most known drug users.

                                It would be a huge ask for the club to turn around and re instate him.
                                I think the problem is that regardless of his guilt or innocence, he brings poor publicity for the club and the game, even if it is a media beat up.

                                If he is off the stuff, then why is he headed back to rehab?
                                Is that to satisfy the club?
                                Is it to delay his court appearance, so further evidence can come to light?
                                It certainly won't defer the media frenzy surrounding him and the issue.
