Josh Hannay spent part of Wednesday offering his sympathies to John Morris over the ugly way his 11-year tenure with Cronulla ended. By Thursday, he was forced to be focused on his next job: keeping the Sharks' season alive and embracing his own 19-game audition for his coaching future. Hannay this week joked he was the NRL's nightwatchmen, after also seeing North Queensland through the final 10 games of last season after Paul Green's exit. Offered a chance by Morris to join the Sharks coaching staff, the last thing Hannay expected to be doing was consoling his boss by April. "He's disappointed and understandably," Hannay said. "I went through a similar situation last year ... So I think I've got a fairly good grasp on how he's feeling. "He's got a strong emotional attachment to this club and I had a strong emotional attachment to the Cowboys. "We were able to have a really good conversation and I guess share our experiences. "But as I said to him, he'll look back at some point in the future ... and it'll certainly help shape who he is as a coach moving forward." While independent of the situation, Hannay admitted he felt the Morris situation had been handled messily.
