National Rugby League (NRL) CEO Andrew Abdo has congratulated Sydney Roosters winger Daniel Tupou, who will play his 300th NRL match tonight.
Tupou will become the 57th player in NRL history to join the 300-game club in the match against Parramatta Eels on Saturday night. He will become the fifth Sydney Roosters player to play 300 matches for the Club.
Mr Abdo will present Daniel with the traditional 300-game match ball following the game at Allianz Stadium.
"Daniel has scored tries in more first-grade games than any player in Australian rugby league history. That record reflects not only his talent, but the consistency he has delivered year after year," Mr Abdo said.
"He has been at the heart of one of the most successful periods in the Roosters’ history, winning three Premierships and becoming the Club’s leading try-scorer.
"Since making his debut in 2012, Daniel has represented Australia, Tonga and New South Wales with distinction. His impact on the game extends well beyond the teams he has played for.
"What sets Daniel apart is his professionalism. Across more than a decade in the game, he has earned the trust of teammates, coaches and supporters through the standards he sets every day and the consistency he brings every week.
"Three hundred NRL games is a milestone achieved by very few players. It demands talent, resilience and the ability to perform at the highest level over a long period of time.
"On behalf of the game, I congratulate Daniel on reaching this remarkable achievement and thank him for the contribution he has made to rugby league. We wish him every success as he continues his career."
