Brisbane captain Darius Boyd has declared he's done with representative footy and will not make himself available for a 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 NRL fullback pulled the plug to join retired Maroons Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk.
"I've had a great career': Darius Boyd has called time on his representative career.

"My time's done in rep footy," Boyd told News Corp Australia.
"I've had a great career. I have nothing to be disappointed about. I'm really happy with everything I've achieved in the rep arena.
