      Where are the nuffs???

      Still feeling any sympathy for the tool???

      Poor Nesbitt feels betrayed.

      West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett was stunned to hear of Cousins's disappearance in LA.

      "It seems to us he never had any intentions to return (to rehab). We feel betrayed," Nisbett told The Australian.

        On and on and on this saga goes. The man is a living headline. I'm now as sick of hearing about him as I am of Paris Hilton .... hmmm, maybe the two of them can run off together and dissappear from the media forever.

          Hmmm if he was with the club then yes there is a DOC, his contract was terminated so no legal DOC.
          Morally they could, as the problems surfaced whist employed there but show me a organisation with morals these days.

            I think that's the point. Two trash bag snorters run off to the hills and make out like high-as-kite rabbits.

              He's still on their list. He hasn't been removed yet.

              The AFL can still put sanctions on the club.

                  WCE owe Cousins a duty of care. That Cousins has chosen to do his own thing in LA does not (on the evidence of the article) indicate any breach of that duty of care by the WCE. That they owe him a duty of care does not mean that they are liable for any injury/damage etc that he suffers over which they have no control. It would be a long bow to draw to suggest that Benny's choice not to attend rehab is anyway attributable to them. A duty of care is not a duty to wrap in cotton wool, it is a duty not to act in a way that will cause others damage. If they suffer damage, but it was not caused (or contributed to) by the person with the duty of care, then the duty of care has not been breached and the person holding the duty is not liable to compensate.

                    I'm no lawyer, but does someone have a duty of care to the forum not to bore the crap out of everyone bleating on about duty of care?

                          just heard a rumor hes hooked up with cameron diaz???

                          but seriously I feel sorry for the WCE's....they have tried to do the right thing by a star player...yes he got special treatment but if we think most other clubs would have done differently we are kidding ourselves. Maybe the swans " might " have done differently but anyways, hes rub their faith in the dirt... kind of sad.

                            It's pathetic that he's doing another runner. That might just be the last straw if he's out there doing some illegal activities.

                              Its a ploy to get the media off the scent...He could be receiving treatment elsewhere and in peace without the media being camped outside the gates. Its LA - anything is possible. However, if he really is missing, you have to hope that he is safe and you would have to feel for his family.

                                Why should I feel for his family ... he obviously doesn't!!


                                I do feel sorry for his parents ... I think they've been through enough.
