Tomkins brothers, another obvious one.

Walters brothers (Brisbane/Canberra)

Sims brothers (Fiji - not sure if they played together at club level)

A bit more obscure, but im sure there were twins who played at Leeds around the mid-late 90's. Can't think of their names though. Have memories of seeing them play when Leeds had a quartered shirt design. Around the time that Francis Cummins was coming through.

The Leeds twins were David and Anthony Gibbons.

Slightly off topic but didn’t a Featherstone forward play against his son?

Jeff Grayson father played against Paul Grayson son in 1989 ish. 

Funnily enough in 1978 Featherstone had a father and son in the same team when Terry Clawson lined up with son Neil. 

[Joe Aitcheson]

Further to the Pattinson brothers at Workington Town, there was a John Player cup tie around 1980 when Billy, Bobby and Stan played in the Town pack.... against elder brother Malcolm in the Blackpool pack, the year Blackpool got to the final!

Was there another Pattinson brother - Malcolm who played a few games? Or was he a cousin?

There were a number of times both Bobby and Billy played in the same team, and a number of mis-identifications of some misdemeanors! Billy was the more 'mischievous' shall we say, and Bobby took the blame a few times, whilst Billy was grinning like a Cheshire Cat

Kyle & Josh White

Malcolm played at  Blackpool.

The fourth brother Stan played at Town at the same time as Billy and Bobby. 

All three taking the field together...not sure.

I'm glad someone mentioned the batch of brothers at Widnes at the same time. I remember listening to the commentary on one game on the radio in the 80s and I think they had four sets of brothers playing (at a guess Hulme, O'Neill, Myler, Eyres maybe?) plus a couple of others who had brothers elsewhere like Kurt Sorenson. I'm sure the commentator thought it was some kind of record as well. 

[Mumby Magic]

Surely a Fairbank played together. Would have loved Dick Fairbank at Odsal.

Anthony and Mark Nicholson a couple of seasons back for swinton, think they started at Leigh Miners
