Joel Tomkins Leaves Catalans Dragons Due to Personal Circumstances

Joel Tomkins, the head coach of Catalans Dragons, has announced his decision to step down from his position due to personal reasons. Having held the role for nearly a year, Tomkins cited the difficulties of being away from his family as a major factor in his decision. Initially, he took on the role as an interim coach but was later appointed permanently. Tomkins expressed his gratitude to the players, staff, and supporters, and wished the club success for the remainder of the season. His departure comes after the team's recent performance, with one win in their last three fixtures. Ryan Sheridan will take over as interim head coach, alongside assistants Micky McIlorum and Mitchell Pearce, starting with their next game against Warrington Wolves on April 18.
