Joel Tomkins Leaves Catalans Dragons Citing Personal Reasons

Joel Tomkins has announced his departure from Catalans Dragons, citing personal reasons for his decision to leave the role of head coach after less than a year. Tomkins, who took over as interim coach before being appointed permanently, had been absent from the team's last three games. He expressed his gratitude to the players, staff, and supporters, and wished the club success for the remainder of the season. Tomkins' decision to leave was influenced by the challenges of being away from his family for an extended period. Ryan Sheridan will take over as interim head coach, assisted by Micky McIlorum and Mitchell Pearce, starting with the team's next game against Warrington Wolves on April 18.
