Daniel Tupou has stepped away from the game just days after the Sydney Roosters claimed the grand final. The winger departs the competition as a four-time premiership winner, all earned with the Roosters, having never played for another NRL club.
The Roosters said they were "lost for words" at his departure. Tupou's full NRL journey was spent in red, white and blue, leaving him regarded as one of the most committed one-club figures in the competition's modern era.
