Brisbane Broncos captain Darius Boyd has declared he’s done with representative footy and will not make himself available for an unlikely State of Origin recall.

A fortnight after Queensland coach Kevin Walters overlooked him based on form for the first time since his 2008 debut, the veteran fullback pulled the plug to join retired Maroons Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk.

“My time’s done in rep footy,” Boyd told News Corp Australia.

and not a single collective fuck was given....

But if Wayne leaves Broncos and becomes the Qld Origin coach, watch ol Darius backflip on his comments.

He normally gets picked on the wings anyway, not fullback, and tobe honest I wouldn't pick Slater either... pick Ponga.

Reminds me of the massive headlines in QLD (the back page of the Courier Fail read: "BOMBSHELL!" when Billy Slater, a 35 year old player in the twilight of his career, did what most expected he would, by announcing this origin series would be his last.

It's so funny when people quit citing they are "moving out of the way for the younger guys".

That's kind of the selectors job - and they have already determined that for you....

No room for him.. evwn the backups are ahead of him - Oates is a better winger, Ponga a better fullback

Thats what i was thinking. He wasnt going to be selected again anyway. This way i guess he gets to go out on "his own terms" lolz.
