A Team of Bros

[40 nil]

Rugby League has a long history of brothers playing first grade, sometimes as many four, e.g. the Burgess & MacDougall brothers. There has also been notable sets of three, e.g. the Raper, Walters, Hughes & Mortimer brothers. Of course, there are many more sets of two, e.g. just at Manly, the Yakich, Blake, Stewart, Trbojevic brothers (probably others as well). A fairly comprehensive list of RL brothers & families is give at List of family relations in rugby league - Wikipedia

Anyway, I decided to create a team of bros currently playing in the NRL. To make a team of exactly seventeen would have required the inclusion of a set of three brothers. Afaik, the only set of three currently playing in the NRL is Micheal, Robert & George Jennings. Rather than have George, a winger, on the bench, I decided to add an 18th man, utilizing nine sets of brothers (maybe the squad can be reduced to seventeen if Burbo or Albert Hopoate makes first grade 🙂)

1. Tom Trbojevic
2. Brett Morris
3. Josh Morris
4. Michael Jennings
5. Robert Jennings
6. Will Hopoate
7. Benji Marshall
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Jeremy Marshall-King
10. Daniel Saifiti
11. Tariq Sims
12. Curtis Sironen
13. JakeTrbojevic
14. Jamil Hopoate
15. Jacob Saifiti
16. Korbin Sims
17. Kenny Bromwich
    
    
18. Bayley Sironen

Other brothers currently in the NRL - Joey & Luciano Leilua, Stephen & Christian Crichton, Jayden & Blake Brailey, Dallin & Malakai Watene-Zelezniak. Are there any more?

Ruan Sims

I know that is tongue-in-cheek, but she has retired and I think the eldest brother, Ashton, has as well (he last played for Toronto).

I'd have the Walters boy's in, Steve would definitely be the starting hooker

How quickly the burgii have disappeared!!

edit: If you've already hit google, nothing I can add.

The team is from current players - was going to emphasize this in my post - have since done so.

Can we at least in a trial have 3 x Turbos and 3 x Hoppas?
Add in two Fainu's for good measure.

Coached by the Walkers perhaps?

Is Christian Crichton the penrith one? He looks a real find. I'd put him in the centres and his brother 18th man. Hoppa to wing, Siro playing running 5/8 and bailey in the back row. Robert jennings seems average and michael jennings deserves to be dropped for scoring that filthy try against us in the 2013 gf

Stephen plays for Penrith - 19 years old

Can we create a team from brothers who have played first grade for Manly? This would exclude players like Jamil Hopoate & Bayley Sironen.

Here are some who qualify - Yakich, Stewart, Trbojevic, Foran, Fulton, Iro & Blake brothers. They are mostly backs - need some front rowers, especially - perhaps from earlier eras?

true, I think she played smarter and with more impact than her 3 brothers, who are kings of the wrong option.
