Such sad news, he seemed like a great little man. Hope his family is ok.

Ah that sucks, poor kid. I'm glad the players gave him so much time and care. That would have meant a lot to him.

Oh no. They were on the phone to him in the sheds after the Cows game. Tragic loss poor little guy. Condolences to the family. The club will be hurting from this.

Bless him, RIP...

Oh man ….so sad. He’s now in Sea Eagle heaven. Rest in peace young fella. Hope the boys play out of their skin for the rest of the year & make you proud.

This really hits hard. Beau’s smile and attitude in the face of his challenges were amazing. RIP champion.

I was just watching the latest manly way episode and seeing the bit with him on the phone from the song. He still looked happy as ever after that. So tragic for his family. Massive condolences to them. I’m sure the boys will be devastated.

Watch the manly way episode 6

Making jokes like I’m going to max out all the machines
It’s for my man cave
Going to treatment after and still having a joke and laugh

Hopefully all manly players can do a that’s gold after each try this weekend
Rest in peace

Heartbreaking news and so very sad. Watching Beau in episode 6 of The Manly Way, he was so courageous and upbeat and it was wonderful for the boys to give him some joy and lift his spirits, as well as after the Cows game. Thinking of his family, friends and Tom, Jake, Ben and all the boys.
RIP Beau...

Poor little boy. Horrendous stuff.

Through all the pain and hopes and hopes dashed, it must have been the smallest comfort that his favourite team gave him their love and attention. Joy in a time of endless struggle.

It's a reminder also of what our sports stars encounter that us mere mortals don't. I don't know how the Beau relationship came about but quite often you hear of players of many sports visiting children's hospitals, hosting sick kids at training, making their wishes come true. The really compassionate ones form bonds and suffer the heartbreak as much as any friend would. Kudos to those players and our hearts go out to them too for their loss too. It will be hard.

But mostly it's Beau's Mum and Dad who'll suffer this the rest of their days. Awful.

He seemed such a special little boy who touched so many with his bright attitude and smile.

RIP beautiful boy
