Daniel Tupou has stepped away from the game just days after the Sydney Roosters won the title. The winger walks away as a four-time premiership winner, all earned with the Roosters, having never worn a different club's jersey.

The Roosters said they were "lost for words" at his departure. Tupou's whole playing life was spent in red, white and blue, cementing his place as one of the most loyal one-club players in the competition's modern era.
