Macquarie Raiders player Filisione Pauta highlights team bond ahead of grand final

Macquarie Raiders player Filisione Pauta is preparing for his first grand final since joining the club in 2019 as the team competes for the Peter McDonald Premiership title.

Pauta, who also works as a disability support worker, highlighted the significant role of his client, Justin Fettell, within the team. Fettell serves as the team's water carrier and is described by Pauta as ‘the glue of the team’.
