The Sydney Roosters have reportedly locked in two promising brothers as they aim to fortify their squad for the future.

According to the latest from zerotackle.com, the Roosters have secured the services of Xavier Va'a and De La Salle Va'a until the end of the 2026 season, with the siblings agreeing to two-year contract extensions.

Considered a significant coup for the Roosters, the Va'a brothers will be joining forces with the likes of Lindsay Collins and Spencer Leniu in the pack, learning from the seasoned players to elevate their own game.

With Xavier, 20, having already led Queensland's Under-19s State of Origin team last year, he is poised to fill the shoes of the retiring Jared Waaerea-Hargreaves in the front row next season.

Standing tall at about 193cm and 116kg, Xavier brings a commanding presence to the team since arriving in 2021.

Meanwhile, the younger sibling, De La Salle, is a towering 194cm and 115kg at just 15 years old, showing immense promise for the future.

The Roosters are clearly investing in a strong foundation for their lineup, ensuring a legacy of success for years to come on the rugby league field.
