M\ufeffanly<\/a> veteran Jake Trbojevic<\/a> has admitted he "took for granted" playing first grade alongside his brother in their early years together.<\/p>\n

The \ufeff31-year-old was the first of the Trbojevic siblings to crack the NRL, but was almost immediately taking the field alongside Tom not long after his debut.<\/p>\n

Ben has since joined his two older brothers in the Sea Eagles side and earning a more regular spot in the team under Anthony Seibold<\/a> last season.<\/p>\n

While the oldest of the Turbos can understand the significance of playing alongside his two younger brothers, that wasn't always the case.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"It's very special," Jake told Nine's Marlee and Me<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

"I think me and Tom were really lucky, we got to play with each other really young and it's something that we probably took for granted.<\/p>\n

"Tom debuted when it was my fifth game – but since Ben has come in and started playing, we realise how special it is to actually play alongside your brothers.<\/p>\n

"It kind of inspires you to want to keep playing well."<\/p>\n

Growing up \ufeffon the Northern Beaches and supporting the Sea Eagles their entire lives, it has been no surprise to see all three Trbojevic brothers become fan-favourites.<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes and on the field, Jake is still the leader – but he admits sometimes he needs his younger siblings \ufeffto keep him "calm" during the grind of week-to-week footy.<\/p>\n

"You're always their brother first, care about them and want them to do well," he said.<\/p>\n

"I'm not sure it's changed too much over the years. Footy gives you a lot of stress and sometimes they are helping me honestly – they are calming me down.<\/p>\n

"It's been good for us and it's brought us all closer together each week. You watch each other go through the ups and downs.<\/p>\n

"It's definitely something we don't take for granted anymore."<\/p>\n
