Quaden Bayles's mother posted a video of her distraught son after relentless bullying, which has now been viewed millions of times, prompting an outpouring of support from all around the world.
With the NRL All Stars game between an Indigenous and a Maori side to be played on Saturday night, the Indigenous All Stars reached out, asking the Brisbane boy to lead them onto the field on the Gold Coast.
"Hey Quadey, how you going, cuz?" he said of the boy that he described as a"little super hero" after their 2016 meeting. "Your mum's on your side, we're on your side and [we want to] make sure you're thinking the right things, bud, because we want you around."We want you to lead us out on the weekend. It's gonna mean more to us than it will to you, bud. So just make sure you're looking after yourself and hopefully we get to see you in the next couple of days."
