Tupou started playing in the National Rugby League competition for the Brisbane Broncos in 2004. His size and speed led many to hope he could help fill the huge gap left in the Broncos' wings since Wendell Sailor and Lote Tuqiri left the club to play for the Wallabies. However, his first seven games for the Broncos all resulted in losses.

In the 2006 season, the year the Broncos won the premiership, Tupou (together with captain Darren Lockyer) was the Broncos' top try-scorer. He scored more than once in several matches, earning him the nickname "two-tries Tupou". However he didn't play for Brisbane in 2007, instead playing in their Queensland Cup side, the Aspley Broncos, and in round 7 was released from his contract with the club. Attended wesley college.
