"LIDDLE MAY LEAVE DRAGONS OVER LACK OF GAME TIME

The Dragons may be about to pay the price for giving hooker Jacob Liddle limited game time, with no guarantees that he will remain with the club.

Liddle has an option to stay with the joint venture in 2026, but given that he has been demoted to a bench role in 2025, with the arrival of Damien Cook from the Rabbitohs, he may look to continue his career elsewhere next year.

While Liddle has only played more than 40 minutes of a game just three times this season, he has still managed to score six tries in his 10 games in 2025.


Liddle’s manager Gavin Orr told Wide World of Sports’ The Mole that the situation is being monitored.

“Jacob is happy at the Dragons but obviously would like to start games and have more match time,” Orr said.

“We will see how things play out.”

With the Cowboys to lose Reece Robson to the Roosters in 2026, they may make a play for Liddle, who earned Prime Minister’s XIII selection in 2024.

The 28-year-old has played 54 games for St George Illawarra after switching from the Wests Tigers."

Above is from FoxSports writer.

I haven't thought of the Cowboys, but yes if they are losing Robson to the Roosters next year, they might try their luck and get Liddle to replace Robson.

Come on whoever is in charge of recruitment at the Dragons extend Liddle's contract with the Red V and Flanno needs to give him at least 60 minutes of game time.
It's the Mole reporting it. Grain of salt. In saying that, we need to keep him

That’s so true.
Isn’t it funny how the three stooges always like each other’s post but nobody else.
That's what motivated my post

They disrespect anyone else's posts with a laughing emoji
(As in laughing at - not with)

I could not find a post outside of their dark circle, that evoked a like from all three.

To get the image, I had to unignore one 'no-goodnik' and hey presto - I had multiple samples to copy. (He's back on Ignore)

They do 'like' each other a lot!

Liddle is better as an impact player off the bench, he is not an 80 minute player often time's last season he was burnt out Flanno is playing them just fine.
We are all in agreeance though this season Coach should have brought Liddle into many games earlier (IMO)

The worry is the contract games that Liddle's manager is playing
“Jacob is happy at the Dragons but obviously would like to start games and have more match time”

If starting games is the clincher, I don't think Dragons will re-sign.

If they can negotiate more game time, without starting, then it's a win for us and worth upgrading his contract.

You know once Hornby reads this he’ll give you the old laughing emoji right?

So why do all these players and their managers think they know better than the coach? Who would want to be a coach.

What rubbish.

Zac said many times he was happy playing any position, he wasn't happy that his contract talks with us took so long over the pre season. In the end he decided the Eels were a better prospect for his future plans.

Flanagan never once suggested Hunt should play hooker, if you can point me to where he did, please do mate?
Hunt just got sick of being flamed for the inept team performances and being belittled by the coach.

The fact both players took substantial pay cuts to leave this sinking ship should speak volumes, there was a lot more to both than just which position they played in and that's very well recorded in media.
+ TPA, which probably in the end is a wage rise.

I think when they are ignored by a poster, they can't react, Crush
I've had them all, bar KF7 (recently), on ignore for some time, and i don't see any reactions from them. Trust me - I still bait them :D

I only can see if they respond to other posters - then i just click on "Show post"

i don't see new posts by any of them

Liddle is one of our best performers

In this case, I'd like to think that Liddle's manager is just agitating for a better financial return for his client.

The comments he made will attract some interest from other clubs which will increase pressure on the Dragons to upgrade and extend contract.

I reckon Liddle deserves an upgrade and my gut feeling is that Liddle is generally happy wearing the RED V

Fingers crossed!

Oh really? I’ve been ignoring Hornby for ages but he laughs at ALL my posts.
Maybe he just doesn’t think you’re funny?
He thinks I’m hilarious

being 6 ft 12 - 115kg, ex boxer - perhaps he is scared of me?

Haha - what bollocks

Can't explain it!

And before I utilised ignore, I remember you being specifically targeted, every post, by I'mhornby??

i used to see all ignored posts but something changed

Not sure if it was the mods that have settings

TBH - I was suspendered for breaking the rules
(After reading the rules it was fair)

When my access was restored, many things changed

I no longer get the pop up ads and I don't see ignored posts

I wouldn't recommend it as a strategy, but very weird
