Matt Parish

Assistant coach Matt Parish is leaving the Canberra Raiders, with the NRL club agreeing to an early release from his contract.

Parish will depart the club this week and return to Sydney, citing a desire to live closer to his family.

The Raiders will immediately begin searching for a replacement, chief executive Don Furner says.

"Matt sought an early release from the final year of his contract for family reasons and the Raiders were sympathetic to that request," Furner said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Both parties agreed it was important for this to happen now to minimise the disruption to the team and maximise the chances of Matt securing his coaching future."

Parish was contracted to the end of the 2016 season.

He couldn't wait 7 more rounds :huh:

Wonder if the Tigers Coach has anything to worry about.

Obviously Mat has some senility left, getting out of the basket that is canbera.

He wants to get closer to Hadley's ex-wife. Canberra is a bit far apart

7 more rounds? There has to be more to this. Come on Rothfield lets see if you can get to the bottom of this one?

I think this is far more plausible than any of the projected defections of our players.

Parish shifting back NOW is just too much of a coincidence.

If he doesn't get the Tigs top-job soon or in the off-season, I bet he's under the impression he will!
