ben cousins may play for force

[mudskipper]

I know of a few guys in Kalgoorlie who played afl first, then moved into rugby. They were placed in the backs for their kicking ability. Moses did joke earlier in the year about Barry Hall becoming a tah...

I understand in a AFL dominated state that there has been cross over in the codes. But 1st grade WA is a long way off S14 level. I just can't see a 31 year former great AFL player adapting to Super 14 rugby. Surely the Force aren't short on outside backs or staff problems to manage?

"Richmond would not reveal details of Cousins's salary package, but they are believed to have had only $120,000 to play with after the ruling that Polak would stay on the senior list.

To accommodate Cousins, some Richmond players are expected to take pay cuts."

Hehe - no pressure Ben, everyone will be right behind you...
