Daniel Tupou has stepped away from the game just days after the Sydney Roosters lifted the premiership trophy. The winger departs the competition as a four-time premiership winner, all earned with the Roosters, having never suited up for a rival team.
The Roosters admitted to being "lost for words" at his departure. Tupou's full NRL journey was spent in red, white and blue, making him one of the most committed one-club figures in the competition's recent memory.
