Gus & Gal's emotional Boyd Cordner tribute | NRL on Nine

[@nickpippos9788]

Not a Roosters fan, not a Blue, not a forwards follower but a footy tragic since little. Boyd Cordner was an adornment to what is a not-so-pretty tough game. A warrior for his teams. Pure footballer. Follow me boys-I'll show you the way! 100% whether win, lose or draw. It's a game and he's made the only choice he could. A lot of grace for a big unit. Others could learn from him.

[@ianward71]

As a Qld’er and Storm supporter, you have my deepest respect and admiration. You are a true champion and a fantastic person. I have enjoyed watching you play and treasure you as a role model for future generations. Thank you for the amazing memories and I wish you and your family every happiness, joy and respect you deserve. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@NRLonNine]

[@christopherhays4187]

[@wolfgangvonuce9615]

As a maroons and Toa Samoa supporter,I say thank you Boyd for your contribution to the game,you are a true champion👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@johnnikolic8469]

Form is temporary but class is permanent . Good luck and god bless

[@coreystrong636]

A true man of action. Lead by example!

[@johnkewagi6299]

For a Blues player, he was great and played in the true spirit of the game. Never saw him lose his cool at any time and his untimely retirement is a great loss to the game of rugby league. Thanks for all the great memories of your playing days for the Roosters, the Blues and Australia. We from Papua New Guinea wish you all the best and encourage you to still be involved in Rugby League in some capacity.

[@docmonger2228]

Absolute champion respect 🙏🇦🇺

[@cyrilrembameame4374]

One of the Greatest NRL Player of all Time...!! I loved watching every game he played. A real definition of a morden day Warrior. Much love and Respect from Papua New Guinea...👍

[@rachaelhowes5141]

He was the best leader I have seen in my life and the toughest player I have seen

[@tysonvincent3659]

As a south Sydney fan I have to say it was a good player he always rolled up the sleeves and had. A go always wanted a boys body on the line and seem like a really good good luck in whatever you decide to do with life

[@Sole_man]

Never played for a team I backed in the NRL but he was always a good player to watch! All the best 🙌🏼

[@gazman2769]

A true Legend

I'm a QUEENSLANDer to the core and I say to you...Thanks Boyd Cordner you are a champion

[@billymack333]

Beautiful to see his passion for our great game even into retirement. Boyd your a Legend mate...Good Luck for the future, onwards and upwards.

[@reupenamuaimalae6965]

As a Rugby ui0n fan supporter I have so much respect for Boyd Cordner I honestly think he's the Richie McCaw of Rugby league body 0n the line in all the games he's played for NSW and for Roosters and Kangaroos hes a beast and he should've been 1 of the most payed players.All the best Boyd you will be missed in the Nrl bloody Legend Boyd 🙏💯💪👍

[@papaluskask999]

Sad loss for the game. Wish BC great future. Best health and he's got much more to give to game. Warrior's fan.

[@mallonpeter8060]

The man that brings rain for the NSW blues . Best Captain best role model a true friend and a great person on and off the field..

[@brendanalder8293]

An absolute legend and an inspiration. The roosters and footy more broadly will miss Boyd.

[@boriskaresin]

What a human being. What a bloke. What a man. To be vulnerable is to be truly strong. Big ups to him and the best and love for his future ❤️

[@sonnQ]

What he went through with serious injuries early on in his career, he could of thrown in the towel....and then to put up with the head knocks...this guy went through a lot and he is a champion and he will be missed.

[@lukebenji4228]

Legend. One of the hardest players in his era

Great player great role model... for someone at his age and to achieve what he had achieved over his short career is amazing..

This guy is a legend and shows with all his former team mates there.

[@Ticky2396]

As a queenslander was never a fan of him but got to give credit where credit is due. He was a legend of the game. All the best in retirement.

1 of my favourite first try scorers

As a NSW blues supporter who’s not from NSW well done on a great career captain

REST IN PEACE BOYD!

Not a Roosters or Blues fan But Cordner was a class act and genuine leader. He will be sorely missed in the game

[@deevita7459]

Never liked him but he was a warrior out on the paddock. Everyone that plays league is a warrior in my books. Boyd can pass his knowledge to the next generation of footy players. You had a good career, now you can have a rest mate.

[@JWIA67]

Interesting to see Todd Carney in the background there

[@adambarnes3730]

There great mates off the pitch from what I’ve seen from there instagram.

[@nikkismith7154]

Bubbling Away...... 😁

[@ronanrogers4127]

You’ve made the right decision, but I’m sure it was tough. As a Rabbitohs supporter I saw you as a great leader. Separately, why is it that Danny Weidler always feels the need to be front and centre?

[@johnhopes7747]

I am a QLDlander - I am so sorry mate - good luck

[@samdagoat423]

Even tho I go for the bunnies he was a great man 😞

[@julianalderson6996]

Yes very good, an has turned up everything hes done, always be good player"

[@connorduke4619]

Everyone says Cordner was "courageous, brave, had no self-preservation"... the essence of Mars in it's strongest sign if Aries he was born under.

[@9weetbix]

Gus is kidding himself if he thinks he’s recovered fully. If that helps you sleep at night big fella. But I think the writing’s on the wall - Cordiner is going to face battles with his health the older he gets. Hence the rule changes.

[@Southlakesown]

Unfortunately you're probably right. If the CTE issues we saw in the NFL is anything to go by then he's in for a hard life

[@johndarwen2845]

Great player, we should have kept him in Newcastle though.

[@ronanrogers4127]

Would’ve made a big difference

[@nikkismith7154]

Only 29 ??? Thought he was 38 or 39!!!

[@johnpower29]

The background music is unnecessary

[@johnsipolis]

Gould was the one back in 2018 i think ,who said Cordner wasn't up to Origin level when Qld were dominating and changes had to made.

[@deevita7459]

I honestly thought so too, I thought Josh Jackson should've been the new blues captain. He surprised me.

[@Username17504]

@@deevita7459 Josh Jackson what that bloke has no offence?? Boyd is head and shoulders above him

[@johnsipolis]

@@deevita7459 I think you missed my point, i was criticizing Gould for wanting Cordner dropped and Gallen for that matter. Being a Queenslander i wished Cordner played for us.

[@ivytafa]

This is Sad

[@logansgamingchannel3977]

Roosters 4 life

[@daviesduffy602]

If only he got 2 more...

wonder if this was filmed before or after Gal got pummelled.

[@basketballworld2892]

Wow

[@casapilotsaustralia3599]

Roosters over the cap all those years

[@ivytafa]

Yea

[@baileygilbert4766]

As a QLD fan since 2006, You’re a better NSW Captain then Gallen when it comes to sportsmanship, And also your SOO series winning record against Gallen in SOO as NSW Captains is way better then Gallen’s but to be fair to Gallen tho he(Gallen) face much much more tougher QLD Maroons competition as in JT, Lockyer, GI, Cameron Smith, Corey Parker, Billy Slater, Petero Civoniceva, Cronk & more, And as a Storm ⛈ fan since 2006 you, Cronk & the six again call cause me a bit of heartache but your Roosters 🐓 deserve to go back to back tho because the Raiders choke(like the trash chokers that they are) in the 2019 NRL grand final, Farewell Boyd✌🏽😎.

[@justanaussie2822]

Now replace Gallen with Boyd in everything NRL

[@bensantowski467]

I like Boyd even as a Queenslander and was saddened by his retirement. Solid player, great leader and he is a perfect example of how players should behave around the game. But with all due respect I think calling him a legend of the game is a little bit of a stretch. but hey good luck to the bloke wish him all the best and hope he future is prosperous!!

[@maverickg3gbls132]

So what's your point Gus!!!!!!

[@jasonaus3551]

He will be remembered as pretty good player who won't be a legend of the game as he didn't have longevity because his body and mind couldn't keep up. Prob the least deserving Australian Captain, which he was a stop gap until Munster was ready anyways

[@enterthedragon5979]

The uniform for the future of NRL will be helmets, shoulder pads and testicles pad protector.
