"I had a player-agent sent me a text that night to remind me 'no he is not doing a good job', players won't extend if Mick Potter stays," the host said on Sunday Triple M NRL with Matty Johns.
The revelation comes off a report the Tigers released during the week which evaluated Potter's coaching performance as he looks to re-sign.
The Wests board has made it clear, if the Tigers do not finish in the Top 8 this season, Potter will not coach the club next year.
Triple M NRL's Gorden Tallis says it is not Mick Potter's job to be liked.
"You're not supposed to like everything that your trainer does or your coach does because he is supposed to challenge you," Tallis said on Sunday Triple M NRL with Matty Johns.
The Broncos legend went on to say if Potter leaves he can't see anyone better to take the club into the future.
"I don't know who can take over and take those blokes to the next level."
Tallis challenged the text message as he said superstars Mitchell Moses, Luke Brooks and James Tedesco penned new deals.
Tedesco even backflipped once signing with the 'Green Machine' to stay at the Wests Tigers.
