Boyd puts himself last

BLUES captain Boyd Cordner insists he won’t put himself before his team and play next week’s Origin decider if he’s not fully fit.

Cordner remains confident he will recover from a calf injury to take to Suncorp Stadium against Queensland.

The Sydney Roosters backrower will give himself until the team’s last major training run on Sunday to complete a full session with the team, but he maintains he won’t play unless he’s confident he can last the full 80 minutes.

“I won’t be that selfish,” he said. “I’m not that stupid.

“I don’t want to put the team in a position where if I can’t finish the game or it happens early then we’re down an interchange.

“I want what’s best for the team.”

He injured his calf in the Origin II defeat at ANZ Stadium and has not played since.
