Jake and Tom Trbojevic are Manly's $6 million men — one granite, the other a diamond — the strength and brilliance that Manly will build around for the next four years.
After weeks of negotiating, Sea Eagles boss Bob Fulton has secured the pair until the end of 2020 and given Manly a chance to rebuild into a club that can again challenge the best in the game.
Fulton spoke at length with the boys' parents and grandmother and was struck by the family bond.
And here's a bonus for Manly fans. The club is hopeful of signing a third Trbojevic, younger brother Ben, a Steve Menzies-style back-rower.
Jake and Tom are managed by Paul Sutton and he always felt Manly were the best fit. That far-sighted attitude was important in the negotiations.
The pair have upgraded deals for 2017 and cashed in for the following three years. Jake's new three-year extension is worth about $2.1 million, while Tom's deal is for $2.7 million. Throw in the upgraded deals and you have a solid investment.
Both will play Origin and are sure to challenge for higher honours.
As well as being great talents, they are from good stock and there have been few more important signings for Manly in recent times.
