Thomas Farr brings grit, discipline, and a deep love of the game to the Capras jersey—qualities shaped by his roots in Longreach and forged through family footy at Edkins Park. From playing alongside his brothers to winning the U21s Grand Final and making Queensland Schoolboys, Tom’s story is all about hard-earned moments. Whether he’s strapping his wrists before a game or dreaming of an NRL pre-season, he stays grounded by his values: build good habits, stay persistent, and keep chasing the next goal. Just don’t ask him to do MAS sprints without a complaint.
