North Queensland Cowboys star Jason Taumalolo will mark his 300th NRL game this weekend, joining an elite list of the code's 55 legends who have reached the triple century. What makes it even more special is that the Tongan wrecking ball will celebrate it in front of his friends and family in Townsville when the Penrith Panthers come to visit on Saturday.
Taumalolo joins Johnathan Thurston as Cowboys greats who will reach the milestone, and will run out as a one-club legend with his beloved Cowboys.
Let's have a look back at ten of Taumalolo's greatest moments that shaped his career.
9. The youngest Cowboys debutant
Taumalolo holds the record as the youngest ever player to debut for the Cowboys, which was a small hint that he would go on to have what is described as an illustrious career.
2010 Cowboys coach Neil Henry called upon Taumalolo, who was excelling in a quality Toyota Cup side, to be elevated to his NRL bench at 17 years, 2 months and 21 days of age.
The club was undergoing somewhat of an injury crisis, and in a brief 15-minute stint, Taumalolo recorded his first tackle break of his career, the first of many over a decorated 16 years.
