Manly's Curtis Sironen has revealed his desire to play alongside his out of contract younger brother Bayley at the Sea Eagles next season.
Sironen junior is yet to re-sign with the Rabbitohs despite an impressive season with 14 games, including a try and a total of 1127 running metres.
With his future up in the air, it has opened the door for his big brother Curtis to dream about playing alongside each other.
โBayley and I have never really spoken about it, because he was always that little bit younger, but I would love to get a chance to play with him one day,โ Curtis toldย NRL Tonight.
โThere are a couple of back-row spots that have popped up (at Manly).
โHopefully, (recruitment officer) Crusher Cleal is floating around training in the next couple of weeks.
โIf the stars align then happy days, but if not I think he is pretty happy at Souths.โ
Bayleyโs Rabbitohs have beaten big brother Curtis on the two occasions theyโve played.
โHe is the complete opposite of me. He is very quiet, and he just goes about his work.โ Curtis said.
Respect for one another is so strong that Curtis will put his Manly allegiance aside to cheer for his brother and the Rabbitohs as they push for the premiership success.
โI hate to say it, but Iโll probably be supporting South Sydney in their finals series,โ he said.
โIโm really proud of Bayley. He has taken a bit of a different route.
โHe has played a lot of reserve grade and really worked hard. Bayley was a part-timer for a long time there and he just stuck at it.
โHe is really resilient and to see him getting week to week footy, Iโm so proud of him.โ
