Sacked Cronulla coach John Morris' mum has hit out at the club, claiming her son doesn't understand why he can't coach out the NRL season. Morris' axing on Tuesday was one of the most callous in years, after the club opted for Craig Fitzgibbon despite Morris making the finals in both his seasons at the helm. The 40-year-old's exit came with immediate effect, with assistant Josh Hannay to take over as a caretaker when players return to training on Thursday. But after Morris' players were only told of the news via text message on Tuesday night, his mother Sharyn launched a brutal Facebook post against management. "My heart breaks for my son, the coach. So dedicated, so loyal. So disgusted that he was treated so badly by the board," Sharyn Morris wrote. "Even though he knew they weren't re-signing him, he wanted to finish out his contract. "He loves his players and staff. His only question - why? They couldn't answer him." Morris' mother also called for members to vote out the board at the club's next election, calling for former chief executive Barry Russell's return. "Fans get to know your board. They are deceitful liars. 24 hours they said 'no deal has been done'. "You have the power but must be financial members for three years before you can vote. "Vote them out and bring back Barry Russell, a true loyal Sharks man."
