Former Cronulla coach Peter Sharp

Peter Sharp has quit as coach of NRL club Cronulla, effective immediately.

Sharp reluctantly stepped into the role this season after head coach Shane Flanagan was suspended by the NRL for 12 months over the club's 2011 supplements program.

The news came less than 48 hours after playmaker Todd Carney was sacked by the club after a lewd photo of him was posted on social media.

Cronulla are anchored at the bottom of the NRL ladder, with just three wins in 14 games - including last round's upset 24‑22 victory over Brisbane.

The Sharks will play the Roosters at 11.30pm on Saturday.
