In the middle of all the action, Walsh, 22, kicked off his footy boots, signed them and then handed them to the thrilled six-year-old.

“It was a big crowd for Toowoomba and there were lots and lots of kids – more kids than adults,” Mac’s mum Danica Byrnes said.

“He just got chosen waiting at the end and he was lucky enough to receive them, so he’s a lucky boy.”
After a brief chat the 22-year-old NRL star was off again leaving the Byrnes family in awe – and also scratching their heads about how best to display their one-of-a-kind piece of Broncos merch.
“It was exciting – he’s a lovely guy – we got a photo and now we just have to find a place to put them,” Ms Byrnes said.
