Something in the water

Sacked Western Force player Matt Henjak is likely to play in Europe after the Australian Rugby Union rubber stamped the Perth club’s decision to sack their star halfback.
Henjak was dismissed by the Super 14 club on Tuesday night after a disciplinary committee found him guilty of breaking the jaw of teammate Haig Sare.
A history of alcohol-related incidents ensures Henjak’s future lies in rugby overseas or switching to rugby league.
There must be something in the Perth water given the various dramas that have plagued the West Coast Eagles and the Force.
In other zany news, disgraced former AFL player Ben Cousins pulled out of a much-anticipated exhibition boxing match in Sydney just hours after it was reported he would face a blood test.
Management company Flying Start issued a statement this afternoon giving no reason for the withdrawal.

Australian rugby has such poor depth at the moment that precocious players are indulged far too long. If the code weren’t nearly broke, the answer would be to buy out the best of rugby league.
