PARRAMATTA Eels have punted assistant coach Mick Potter for next season.
Eels general manager Mark O’Neill says it was Brad Arthur’s decision, which is surprising considering the team have gone from wooden spooners to fifth on the ladder this year.
“Pottsy is a terrific bloke and has done a wonderful job,” O’Neill said. “I was consulted but it was Brad’s call. Assistants are appointed by the head coach.”
O’Neill said no decision will be made on a replacement until after the season.
Potter, a Dally M player of the year winner, has coached at Wests Tigers, Newcastle and Parramatta.

Can someone who has actual information please let us know what happened here?
he may to good in brads eyes, and later take hes job.
i would say brad got another one lined up..
Robert Maxwell : I say you are near spot on with that. Interesting that Mark O`Neill says that Pottor has done a wonderful job but it was Arthur`s call---- in public!?
Well he also sent Justin Holbrook packing when he was pushing to be more involved with the NRL side . Roosters snapped him up the next day and the rest is history .
Fong, you're only guessing here. It could be that Potter wasn't accepted by the players. Newcastle also punted him.
Ha ha as far as I know Taylor has been demoted.
I don't think he is scared of potter taking his job since he got his 2 year extension
