Brothers Michael and Ben Picker have signed new contracts with Canberra.

The two younger members of the Picker clan have emulated older sibling Joe's decision to stay at the Raiders earlier this year, with Toyota Cup five-eighth Michael signing until 2010, and Ben, who is still at school, agreeing a deal until the end of 2011.

After a stunning 2008 season which saw him cement an NRL position and play representative football for the Prime Minister's XIII, Joe Picker said it was great to see his brothers follow in his footsteps.

"We all wanted to stay together if we could and it's turned out that we are so we're all pretty happy with it, Joe said.

"This is the closest club to our home in Bega and we enjoy it here and were a tight knit family who likes to hang around each other."
