- Current players and former Roosters made a shock movement last year
- They are now reaping the rewards of starting a new career.
Four current stars and former Roosters have hit the gold with the hip-hop group that began last year, with the video of their first song that is seen 66,000 times, with even more transmissions on Spotify.
Joey Manu, Joseph -Aukuso Suaalii, Siua Wong and Sitili Tupouniua were teammates at the Bondi Junction Club when they formed the rap attire Dreamourz last year, and the immediate reaction was not kind, with some NRL fans who urged them 'They attached to football'.
But now the quartet has last laughed, with its album outside SZN accumulating more than 85,000 transmissions in Spotify and also finding success in social networks.
Wong is now the only member of the group that still has the roosters after the exits of Suaalii to the Wallabies, Manu to the Japanese rugby union and Tupouniua changing to the bulldogs, but all are licking the reaction to their change of shock to music. .
'Obviously, it began as something we enjoy, and one song led to another, and we ended with an album. We were joking about it, and then we really did, 'Tupouniua said to Sydney Morning Herald.
“There are some people who can enjoy it and some who can hate it, but it is something we did in our free time.”

The first song by Dreamyourz, Rock The Party, has been a success on YouTube and Spotify
Wallabies teammates from Suaalii have had the band's debut album, off-szn, in high rotation during training sessions and stars Nic White and Noah Lolesio are fans.
The reaction to the album has seen the players continue working in their music and Tupouniua has not ruled out that they take another step.
“We would not say that not to act somewhere, especially if all children are back in Australia or wherever it is,” he said.
Definitely something like that, we wouldn't mind. If someone wants to come and say: “Do you want to act here?” I am quite sure that the boys would be interested.
We are in a group chat where we are all talking.
'Everyone writes their own verses and then, like the choir, we have so many rhythms and then one of the children will only make a choir for the rhythm and send it.
“If the boys like, they will write their own verse or their own small rap, and simply go from there.”

Dreamyourz formed after the Manu 'Party All Night' song, received a good reception.
It is understood that Manu has a recording studio in his house where he creates songs of songs with his brother.
The group says that their album has been inspired by RNB, Hip Hop and Afro Beats.
“We have our unique sound, but we listen to many RNB, hip hop and Afro Beats artists,” Wong said last year.
'Let's choose those sounds and songs and whatever we like, we implement those sounds and techniques to create our songs.
“Joey will send us the instruments before going to the study and we are supposed to find the letter.”
