The mother of axed Cronulla coach John Morris, Sharyn, has taken to her personal Facebook page to rip the Sharks board to shreds after her son was terminated just five rounds into the new NRL season.

Despite taking the Sharks to the finals in back-to-back seasons, Cronulla confirmed the signing of Sydney Roosters assistant Craig Fitzgibbon from 2022 with Josh Hannay taking over from Wednesday morning.

“My heart breaks for my son the coach,” her post began.

“So dedicated so loyal. So disgusted that he was treated so badly by the board. Even though he knew they weren’t resigning [sic] him he wanted to finish out his contract. He loves his players and his staff.

“His only question… why? They couldn’t answer him. Fans get to know your boar. They are deceitful liars. 24 hours earlier they said ‘no deal had been done’.

“You have the power but must be financial members for 3 years before you can vote. Bring back Barry Russel [sic] a true loyal Sharks man.”
