Well I for one am shocked by this announcement.
Who could have seen this coming?

 

[Canard]

Honestly shocked it didn't happen at the end of 2020 season.

Roosters be like

 

[stryker]

It’s sad that great players are being lost to the game through repeated head knocks. Its why the crackdown is necessary.
Congrats on the career Boyd Cordner. You achieved a shitload in this game.

Handy player who stole many a NSW jersey from Luke Lewis for reasons? Sure wasn't talent

Lol bullshit

Good player, should free up $2.50 of cap space to allow the Roosters to sign 57 players.

 

[Willie Ray]

no doubt it's the toughest game there is,
and not everyone gets to leave the game on their own terms,
Premiership winner,Captain of his club team,the NSW Blues and the Kangaroos,
pretty good run for a country boy from Taree.
All the best to him in retirement.

Very good player with a very storied career.

Should have retired last year. Thank god that sanity has prevailed.

 

[moffla]

Good luck Boyd. Absolutely fine player and won’t be forgetting to his contribution to NSW.

Must say, kudos to how the Roosters have treated concussions here. Definitely leading the way.

 

[Munted]

Retired at 28, Jake at 31, Graham looking in all sorts at 30.
It's a tough game, glad to see players looking long term and caring for themselves. Lots of years left to life, keep that brain juicy.

 

[Apey]

Definitely punched above his talent with his career.

The idea of him coming back seemed insane to me. Glad he's looking after himself.

 

[ayatollah_murdoch]

He punched above his talent off the pitch too.

 

[nick87]

This is the right decision. Was madness that he was trying to play on
I’m glad he’s retired and wish him good health and fortune into his retirement

thought he was an unfairly maligned player and people dismissing his talent are kidding themselves. At his peak he was a sensational edge forward worthy of all the honours he was given.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

No wonder Fittler brought in Keaon in to SOO camp.

 

[typicalfan]

Nobody ran tougher lines than Boyd. He always ran that ugly line when he was always going to get smashed and he did it effectively. Great player.

Official from the Roosters:

 

[Captain Apollo]

Hard to see another player gone before his time. Guy lead by example, he wouldn't ask anyone to do things he was not prepared to do himself. Captain his State and country, captained his club to 2 premierships after winning his first premiership back in 2013.

 

[blaza88z]

A typical case of one of those players who wasn't gifted with immense talent but made up for it with an immense work ethic.

Never liked him but always respected him, hopefully he gets a gig somewhere with the Roosters so he can look after his family in the years ahead.
