TEENAGE BROTHERS HEAD TOWARDS AN NRL DREAM
October 10 2017

Rockhampton's Tom and Ben Farr have been signed by the Penrith Panthers NRL club.

Both boys have signed with the Panthers, despite still being at school at the Cathedral College. 17-year-old Tom heads off at the end of the year, but 16-year-old Ben will wait until he's finished school at the end of 2018.

They played their first football with the Thomson Tigers in Longreach. Ben says that "toughened" them up. Tom says it doesn't matter where you come from, you can get there if you work hard.
