[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]“I want to be myself and play my own game,” the Woodridge State High School student said.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]The Logan Brothers junior was recently signed by the Brisbane Broncos under-20s program, which he sees as another step towards his dream of playing in the NRL. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]But unlike many other young prospects preparing for their shot at the big time, Thane does not idolise any stars to help inspire him to make his dream a reality.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]“I don’t really idolise anyone, I want to make an impact being me and then hopefully kids will then look up and idolise what I’ve done one day,” Thane said.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]“Signing with the under-20s at the Broncos is a huge step for me, we’ve already started preseason so it’s great to be around the other players, coaches and staff.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]“This is another step towards my goal of playing NRL, I just have to continue to work really hard and perform well at whatever level I play. It’s great that my start is with the Broncos because they’re my team and have been ever since I was a kid.”[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]A natural rugby league talent with his pace and ability to make plays, Thane said he does not know where his rugby league prowess came from.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]“My family hasn’t been really into footy, my dad was really into his hockey and mum was more of a basketballer,” he said.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#232323][FONT=Merriweather Sans]“I just started because my friends were playing it when I was younger and I didn’t want to get left out. It turned out to be a pretty good choice.” [url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/questnews/logan/brisbane-broncos-under20s-signing-thane-kellermeyer-out-to-make-his-own-impact-in-rugby-league/news-story/49891c6f0c528c2c0a1b29267c5e4521]No Cookies | The Courier Mail[/url][/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
