On Tuesday, Fairfax Media reported the show had been cancelled with a new one-hour show to launch in 2018 hosted by Erin Molan.

Vautin sent a message to WSFM’s Brendan Jones on Wednesday morning while on holiday in the US in response to his and the show's axing.

“In the end nothing lasts forever,” Vautin wrote to Jones.

“I had a great run, especially for a short, chubby, red-head who played for both Manly and Queensland.

“That’s not a career, that’s a miracle.”

Darryl Brohman, who will not have his contract extended beyond this year, said he was not too upset by the news and understood everything had an expiry, especially in the world of television.

“I think we were all realistic enough to realise there was always a used-by date for everyone in television and I'm realistic enough to understand I've had a pretty good run and I'm not bitter at all about it,'' he said.

''I understand that these things happen, but it would have been nice to see him clock up 25 years. I would've thought it was a bit of a milestone.''
