Mat played eight NRL games on the wing this year, while Max made his debut against Newcastle last year and has played six games, also on the wing or off the bench.
"The Dragons have been a big part of both our lives. We were both keen on staying beyond this coming season," Mat said.
"I've had a taste of first grade now and I want to continue playing week-in, week-out; that will be what I'll be working hard towards this pre-season and beyond. Hopefully I'll be able to play a lot more games alongside Max too."
Max was also determined to repay the faith the Dragons have shown in him.
"We often talk about how special an opportunity this has been at the Dragons. We are so happy to re-sign and to continue making our family proud," Max said.
"Hopefully I can stay healthy this season and play a lot more games than I did last year all with the goal to cement a spot in the NRL team."
The Dragons missed the NRL finals last year, but have move to build a squad around their emerging young talent, including Junior Amone, Tyrell Sloan and Jayden Sullivan, who all gained experience in first grade.
