The dreams of young Angus Hopkins came true over the weekend as he met his rugby league heroes as part of the NRL Magic Round.

The nine-year-old, who lives with cerebral palsy, spent time with the players on and off the field during the four-day event, as well as being gifted a pair of boots worn by Broncos star Anthony Milford.

Angus came to national attention after his mother was forced to use a wheelbarrow to move him around their Toowoomba property while they fought for a new electric wheelchair from the NDIS.

The purchase of a $26,000 electrical wheelchair has since been organised and Angus should take delivery in early July.

Jody Ezzy said it was a life-changing opportunity for her son to experience the games and meet players.

"Christian Welch from the Melbourne Storm contacted us when he saw Angus's story and invited him to come and see them play," she told ABC Radio Brisbane's Rebecca Levingston.

"Angus had to apologise to him, though, saying, 'I'm so sorry but I'm a Broncos fan'."

The family attended Friday's captain's run with the Storm where Angus watched the players train and later met them on the field.

"In the evening we were guests at the Broncos game and were able to go into the sheds afterwards and meet the Broncos players ... he was just starstruck."

He also met his favourite player, Sam Thaiday.

"He's such a happy little boy now, walking on air, 10 foot tall and bulletproof again," Ms Ezzy said.

"It wasn't done for media or publicity; there were no cameras — it was just the players talking and spending time with Gus as a mate."

'Not just a kid in a chair'

Ms Ezzy said the experience was something the family would not forget any time soon.

"This is a kid who had been kicked down and felt pretty ordinary about people and life.

"For elite athletes to spend time with a little boy and not once feel like he was a charity case or a kid in chair ... there are a lot of people who could take a leaf out of these fellas' book. They made his year."

Paralympic athlete Kurt Fernley has also been in touch with the family since hearing their story and wants to meet Angus and lend his support.

"These little things have restored our faith in humanity," Ms Ezzy said.

"The support we have had from people through this whole thing has helped us hold on."
