Named to be inducted into the NRL Hall of Fame on Wednesday, Les Boyd has fired back at rugby league legend Darryl Brohman, re-igniting a 41-year feud in the process.

During the week, Brohman slammed Boyd's induction and expressed his displeasure on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The feud between the two former players dates back to 1983 when Boyd broke Brohman's jaw in a State of Origin match, which led to a 12-month suspension and him being sued before they reached an out-of-court settlement.

For the first time since his induction, former Western Suburbs Magpies and Manly Sea Eagles forward Boyd has fired back at his enemy, delivering some scathing words.

โ€œHe should be grateful that I did it, otherwise no-one would remember him,โ€ Boyd told News Corp.

โ€œHonestly, I couldn't give a f***. Let him worry about it. He's the one who can't let it go. I'm over it. It's in the past.โ€

โ€œAbout six or seven years ago, I was sitting at Gundagai races with one of my mates and he was sitting at a table across from me.

โ€œHe came up to me and said he felt uncomfortable and that he would come over and say โ€˜g'day'.

โ€œI said โ€˜don't feel uncomfortable, enjoy the races, I don't give a โ€˜f***' and I walked away. That's the only time I've spoken to him.

โ€œIt (the incident) was more than 40 years ago โ€“ it was a long time ago. That's life.โ€
