Sydney-based reports say Roosters centre Daniel Tupou has suffered a shoulder dislocation that threatens his bid to become the most capped player in the club’s history. All sources state that Tupou was on track during the season to set a new record for appearances before the injury occurred during a match against Newcastle on Friday night. The injury is described as untimely, arriving at a point when he was close to surpassing the existing milestone for most games played as a Rooster.

While the articles focus on the potential impact on his record tally, they do not present a definitive timeline for his return. The common theme across outlets is that the shoulder injury could prevent Tupou from reaching the number of appearances required within the season window. As a result, his position in the club’s record books may depend on the severity of the dislocation and the length of his recovery.
