RIP Beau

[master blaster]

For those that couldn’t be at the ground today I just wanted to let you know how special the pre match tribute was. The announcer told the story of Beau’s battle and a video was played on the big screen. I think it may have been Beau’s Mum and brother that then brought the game ball out onto the field.

The crowd spontaneously burst into solid applause for a full couple of minutes. It was like a big collective hug towards the family and I’m not ashamed to say that my wife and I both shed a tear. It was one of the most incredible reactions I have ever seen and I hope Beau loved it and his family took some comfort from it.

Great work Manly family.

The win was all gravy after that.

Thanks for that Bradza, I would have loved to have been there today but l cant drive for a few more weeks after shoulder surgery and I had no one who could have taken me to the game but thank you for sharing that mate, cheers

Pity that in one of the hardest and saddest weeks that this little champion has been over shadowed by someone he would've looked up to. Farewell tomorrow little guy. You are a true Sea Eagle Beau.

Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness!!
Seeing Beau's photo on that Sea Eagle casket is bloody heartbreaking. I can only imagine how the players will feel when they see that.

Edit: talk about perspective!!
