Queensland’s vice-captain says pulling on a Maroons jersey will be an inspiration for Friday’s game at North SydneyBrittany Breayley knows the importance of having visible role-models in women’s sport. At 17, Breayley hadn’t considered rugby league as an option for girls. She came from a union background, but was lured into league by the chance to play alongside Jillaroo Ranae Kunst in her regional hometown of Mackay. With Kunst as inspiration, Braeyley was an instant convert.“Playing alongside Ranae, I knew there was a career in league, a chance to make the Queensland and Australian sides, so I chose to pursue a footy career,” she says. “I chose to live by the motto, ‘dream, believe, achieve’.
