Cowboys help farewell team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
North Queensland Cowboys players formed a guard of honour as they joined more than 1000 people in farewelling former NRL team-mate Sam Faust in Proserpine on Monday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
About 100 of the mourners could not fit into the packed Proserpine Entertainment Centre for the funeral and listened to the service on speakers outside,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Arguably their most touching tribute came when captain Johnathan Thurston pointed to Faust's name embroidered into the North Queensland jersey after scoring the match-winning try in a 20-6 victory,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Faust's name and player number 184 will feature on the jersey for the rest of the season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Faust - who played 24 NRL matches for North Queensland from 2007-08 - was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2009,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Some of the NRL's biggest names were organising an on-line auction to raise $500,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 Faust needed to undergo leukaemia treatment in the United States when he died.
All funds went to help support his young family,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Faust made his NRL debut in round 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2007 and played in five straight victories as he helped the Cowboys finish just one game short of a grand final appearance.
He was previously at St George Illawarra,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where he won the Jersey Flegg best-and-fairest award in 2003 and coach's award in 2004 before breaking into the club's top 25-man squad.
