Daniel Tupou made his 300th NRL appearance for the Sydney Roosters iconic club against the Parramatta Eels neighbors last Saturday. The achievement was mentioned in multiple places throughout the league. NRL.com, News.com.au and the Roosters’ social media pages all cited it.
The Roosters rested key players for strategic reasons for the match. Tedesco, Walker and Robson were omitted the stars. Stand-in player Pezut filled Moses’ spot in the lineup a rookie. The side also deployed younger talent in the lineup. Tupou now sits among the club’s elite 300-game group in Roosters history.
