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.

3. Round 1, 2019 - Post-JT Era

Following the retirement of Thurston at the end of 2018, the Cowboys were in for a rebuilding phase to try to replace one of the game's greatest players. Although another JT stepped up to the plate. Taumalolo ran for a career-high 301 metres in the first game of the season, while also recording two line breaks and setting up a try for Javid Bowen. Champion players need to rise to the challenge, and that's certainly what he did in the absence of a future Immortal.

A few months later, he broke his own record again, running 311 metres in a loss against Manly. Unfortunately, injuries started to creep into his game this year, slowing down his impact as he entered the 2020s.
