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

The Roosters admitted to being "lost for words" at his departure. Tupou's entire career was spent in red, white and blue, making him one of the most committed one-club figures in the competition's recent memory.
