Daniel Tupou has stepped away from the game just days after the Sydney Roosters won the title. 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 said they were "lost for words" at his departure. Tupou's full NRL journey was spent in red, white and blue, making him one of the most dedicated one-club men in the competition's recent memory.
