Cronulla have confirmed their interim coach for the 219 NRL season, with John Morris elevated to Head Coach.
Jim Dymock will remain as the club's assistant coach, despite recent reports suggesting the pair would share the position.
Morris was named the 2017 NYC Coach of the Year, and also played 105 games for the Sharks between 2010-2014.
Cronulla's CEO Barry Russell had the following to say on Morris' appointment.
"The Club is delighted to be able to give John the opportunity to step up into the Interim Head Coach role and has full confidence in his ability to lead our Football program into the 2019 season," Russell told sharks.com.au.
I think jimmy dymock would’ve been a better choice
Yeah I’d appoint a complete neville that hasn’t done squat as a first grade coach. Hell Barrett would have been a better choice.
Morris will get the job done. His NYC 2017 coach of the year experience will transfer over to the top team.
It’s going to be a long year for this guy.
+1. Very good roster to work with and another finals appearance looks likely.
Sorry to hear that , mate. Chin up. Things will get better for you if you keep putting in. cheers.
I bet jimmy will be happy with that.
I can see him pissing off again after spitting the dummy.
The man was interim coach a few years ago done a good job with the doggies,
Barrett is a sh!t coach!!
Shane Flanagan should be permanently banned. He clearly has no respect for the NRL hierarchy.
Shane Flanagan certainly didn’t learn from the 1st suspension. Nice to see John Morris given a go – he has a good footy brain and i hope he has some personal success.
Likewise.
Jim Dymock has been the perennial loser all of his coaching career
last choice at every club he has been to.
He is just not up to it.
100% right.
Total grub, should never be allowed back in the nrl.
Dymock: Alays a bridesmaid but never a bride
he moved from the dogs because Pay got the top job – He should look at Super League if he really wants to be a head coach – but bloke cant string 2 sentences together
