Joel Tomkins Leaves Catalans Dragons Due to Personal Circumstances

Joel Tomkins has announced his decision to step down as head coach of Catalans Dragons, citing personal reasons. Tomkins, who held the position for nearly a year, found it challenging to be away from his family and has chosen to leave the club after a recent period at home. Initially, Tomkins took on the role as an interim coach but was later appointed permanently. He expressed his gratitude to the players, staff, and supporters, wishing the club success for the remainder of the season. Tomkins' departure comes after he was absent from the club's last three fixtures, and Ryan Sheridan will take over as interim head coach alongside assistant coaches Micky McIlorum and Mitchell Pearce.
