The 33-year-old has played 294 games for the Broncos, 34 for Australia and 29 for Queensland during his 16-year career.
In a wig and with make-up on, Thaiday confirmed his retirement in hilarious fashion – dressed as an old man.
"I've always been a bit different in everything I've done, but I've always been true to myself and done things my way," he said.
"So this is my way of being remembered.
"Because if you don't remember my incredible rugby league resume, how are you going to forget that footy player that announced his retirement dressed up as himself as an old man?
"I've been lucky enough to be a Bronco for 16 seasons, and played for my state and my country."
