I Hird that James is not pleased that Adam Godes has taken the limelight from the Bombers this week.

Hindsight is a marvelous thing. If Hird knew using the race card would have been this effective, he may well be seen as a victim in all this.

I swear I heard something on the radio this morning about Hird suing his insurer over them refusing to cover his legals in the failed court proceedings against ASADA...

Was that his reaction when Tanya told she was taking the 4WD, so he had to ride to work?

That's very unfair!

He's trying to get that right shoulder stronger by lifting his drink.

Seriously, Hird is deluded. I'm sure the policy wording is pretty clear about what kind of legal activity it would cover and that I find it unbelievable that an insurance company would offer cover that allows individuals to take legal action against other parties (at least not without pre-approval). IF they did pretty much everyone who had that insurance and any sort of reason to take someone to court would do it knowing their costs are covered win lose or draw. That is complete against the philosophy and the business case for offering insurance.

I thought you guys were joking about Hird suing his insurance company. Silly me.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

No win, no fee. Should have looked harder.

If only Tanya had of read the policy disclosure statement instead of taking notes.

Just as well he got a year's pay for not coaching. Will just about cover his legals.

If I was an insurer, faced potentially with substantial claims from, say, 25 players who have been suspended for 6 months to 2 years and have lost their livelihoods - multi million dollar claims - and given that this players would be bringing action against the club's coaches, directors and other senior management - including club doctors - all of whom are covered under the club's insurance policy - and given that those claims will potentially fill the courts for a few years - and bearing in mind there may be further regulatory action brought against the clubs personel by the government for serious breaches of health and safety workplace laws - all of which are also covered by the club's policy - I'd probably burn a half mill or so on an appeal to try and seek an order that the initial proceedings taken against the players was invalid or ultra vires.

Ah yes, I said many months ago that an insurer would not have agreed to pay James Hird's legal bills on pursuing the federal court matter. The above poster thought I was wrong. I guess the current claim by Hird against his insurer would suggest that I was right!
