Your Say
09/09/2013
His best game was in the 1983 Tooth Cup playing in the front row. He ran the ball up beautifully.

One of the best hardworking players ever underrated by most wasn’t a try scorer but made the hard yards up the middle a true Legend.

Paul fatty Vautin is probably the most underated player. His work rate was the best in the business and 21 games for Qld just shows how great he was. I remember a certain adman put s.. t on him, for what reason I have no idea. A great Australian representative, Manly legend a great bloke to meet. Shame on a certain adman.
