Dragons No.9 Jacob Liddle is set to make his 100th NRL appearance against the club that he debuted for back in 2016 and spent seven seasons with.
A Wyong Roos junior, Liddle spent two seasons with the Wests Tigers’ under-20s squad before making a try-scoring NRL debut as a teenager in Round 18, 2016.
Several long-term injuries limited the 27-year-old to 73 appearances as a Wests Tiger before linking up with the Red V prior to the 2023 season.
