It looked a straight-forward decision but Tom Burgess insists he agonised over whether to join his three brothers in Australia.
The 20-year-old Bradford forward watched on as twin brother George and older sibling Luke followed England international Sam to South Sydney and began carving out a reputation in the NRL.
Tom passed up the chance to join the Rabbitohs when George signed for them two years ago, preferring instead to try his luck in Super League, but in the end the lure of Sydney proved too much.
"It wasn't inevitable but there was a good chance with three of them out there," he said.
"I've been out there three times and I do like the lifestyle and everything my brothers tell me about the beaches and stuff like that, but the main reason is to try to improve myself as a player."
