SO Josh McGuire's selection in the Australian train-on squad was "a mistake"? Then why has he now pulled out of Samoa's tour of England and Ireland? ...
In case you missed it, the Brisbane prop was picked in the Australian Four Nations train-on squad despite being a current Samoan international. ARL chief executive Geoff Carr said he should not have been picked and the selectors simply made a mistake.
But now McGuire has mysteriously withdrawn from the Samoan side. Players are allowed one change of country per World Cup cycle and there's a belief in the Samoan camp that that is what McGuire is going to do.
Why should a powerful country like Australia deliberately give players an incentive to change their country of election by picking them in such squads? Sorry, accidentally....
Here at Discord, we'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt and say Josh's eye surgery is preventing him from playing any end-of-season football. But if he shows up in green and gold ... the ARL has long opposed allowing players to go back and play for their second country of eligibility if they miss out on selection in their first in any given year.
But they go and pick players who are someone else's!
Origin players get $10,000 a game. If that's not enough incentive anyway for NRL players to brush developing countries, I don't know what is. By the way, a bit of mail regarding the Samoan tour. After missing out on the Anzac Test, Frank Pritchard is changing countries from New Zealand to Samoa. And the game against England Knights is set to be switched from Coventry to Halifax.
And Daniel Vidot will play after Queensland threats forced him to withdraw last year. About a dozen players have pulled out but coach Daniel Anderson is still confident of taking away a strong squad. One Samoan domestic player will make the trip.

I MUST say I'm very disappointed the Cook Islands v New Zealand Test has been cancelled.
I have flights and accommodation booked and I am inclined to go anyway. With no game on, next week's column might even be in on time! Just so you know, I'm also planning to be at Jamaica v South Africa in New Jersey, France v England in Avignon and Serbia v Italy in Serbia. So Discord is far from finished for the year.
----------
SO Tony Smith is not a fan of Club Call? I can understand him trying to distance himself from what is essentially a very adventurous gimmick. Golden point extra time is a gimmick too. Getting rid of the breakaways in 1907 and having four point tries were gimmicks too, I guess.
----------
I CAN understand how Kelly Clarkson is fresh and young but I am mystified that the NRL would turn down Alice Cooper as grand final entertainment. Why not have both of them? The League is in bed with Sony anyway, right?
By the way, Eskimo Joe are also playing. They are writing a theme song for the Fremantle Dockers, whoever they are.
----------
FEEDBACK time and Jeff, I suppose I have to learn not to worry if I'm going to hand similar advice to David Gallop! Mike, I'm like you - I hope it is all sorted out. I don't think most fans are aware of what a mess it is, they just assume we'll have a comp next year with an independent commission and that will be that. James when I spoke to David Garsey, he sounded neither confident nor pessimistic. I guess you're right - one year is not too much to ask. Then we'll have a REAL shitfight.
