Playing career
Staunton started his career at Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. He played with them for three years, starting in 1952 when he played five-eighth in the 3rd-Grade Premiership-winning team. He then moved to Balmain Tigers for four years between 1955–1958 and captained them in the 1956 Grand Final. Staunton scored 2 tries in the grand final as St George Dragons defeated Balmain 18–12. The victory would start St George on their 11-straight premiership-winning run.[2][3][4]
