MATT Parish's departure from Salford after just a few games in charge - at the back end of the season - has shocked a lot of people.
The coach has always held NRL ambitions and will almost certainly be Geoff Toovey's assistant at Manly. But Matt has already been an assistant in the NRL so why leave Salford? Discord is told he was unhappy with some aspects of staffing at the City Reds and had called for changes.
One player, Sean Gleeson, was told his departure on Wednesday night. The rest were told at training the next morning. As far as I can ascertain, Parish flew out to Australia at 2pm on Thursday. His signing with the club marked his first visit to England.
Manly's visit to the UK for the World Club Challenge will be his second. Surely it's time Salford handed the post to Phil Veivers, who is way overdue an opportunity.
----------
IT seems the RFL have given up any semblance of trying to protect the gate at the World Club Challenge by restricting where, and against whom, the visiting team plays a warm-up game.
First, warm-ups were forbidden. Then they had to be played behind closed doors (the Roosters at Widnes). Then they had to be in another country (Wales). Then they had to be miles away (London).
But an RFL spokesman has confirmed to Discord that Manly playing against St Helens at their new stadium is "under consideration". There is now a belief that neutral fans won't go to the WCC. It's been reported that Manly players are against the idea; they believe playing two games in England two years ago hurt their title defence.
Other factors, when they got home, may have also played a part....
----------
GLENN Morrison deserved more publicity for his retirement at the weekend.
Stricken by a should injury suffered at training, Morrison has been a great servant of the game and it's fitting that he got to play for the Exiles in his last season after unluckily missing representative teams throughout his career.

FEEDBACK time and Beez, I think we've stumbled across a story. England to play New Zealand in Wellington at the end of October! Love the place ? I'll be there.
Chris I was talking about your suggestion with Andy Wilson just the other day. I think it's important to have boundaries so the individual countries still play Tests. Perhaps they should only play every four years, between World Cups. Or perhaps they should only play on tour in the northern hemisphere. What do you think, readers?
Jim, if 42,000 is a poor crowd then what is 10,000 for a Test in Leigh the week before? Perhaps the experiment of playing rugby league Tests in England's north should be abandoned!
Marty there have been great crowds in France this year. Apparently the secret is including tickets in sponsorship packages and having the companies distribute them to employees. We're not just talking games against England either - the other home nations draw just as well in the south of France. In short, I was pleasantly surprised.
Russell, I have put my money where my mouth is. Do you think anyone paid for me to go to the Cook Islands, Philadelphia, France, Serbia or even England and Wales? No. Or is "miserycord" the only barb you actually aimed at me? I can't figure it out....:)
Here's this week's podcast:
http://stevemascord.com/2011/11/15/white-line-fever-podcast-episode-12And Discord now has a companion column, dealing with rock'n'roll, the podcast and what I'm up to digitally. It's called Loudmouth and last appear in the Sydney street press 20 years ago!
http://whitelinefever.ning.com/profiles/blogs/loudmouth-november-16-2011I am toying with the idea of an online chat each week to discuss the contents of Discord. Tell me if you think it would work, and what a good time would be.

Veteran Australian forward Glenn Morrison is to stay on with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats after signing a new 12-month contract which incorporates a coaching role.
The 35-year-old had been offered a player-coaching role with his old Wakefield boss John Kear at Co-operative Championship club Batley and spoke to Bradford Bulls about a return to Odsal, but has decided to step up his coaching career under new Wildcats head coach Richard Agar while playing a final season in Engage Super League.
Former North Queensland back rower Morrison, who captained Wakefield in 2011, will join James Webster as an assistant to Agar, while also taking charge of the club's Under-20s team.
"It's been a long process obviously with a new coach coming in and the coaching side being part of the contract, so we had to make sure it was all good for both parties and I'm excited about the prospects," Morrison said.
"I'll be an assistant coach during the day and then head coach of the 20s so I get to have my own side and show what I can do there. That's what I want to move into eventually so it's a good chance for me."
