TIGERS SHOP LIDDLE TO RIVALS
The Wests Tigers are reportedly shopping out of favour dummy-half Jacob Liddle to rival clubs.
The 25-year-old has fallen behind Jake Simpkin in the No.9 pecking order in recent weeks.
Liddle suffered a PCL injury during the club’s final trial match, which allowed Simpkin to stake his claim as the club’s future hooker.
Now, with a number of dummy-half options and the arrival of Apisai Koroisau in 2023, the Tigers are reportedly looking to move Liddle on.
“Jacob Liddle is the player, Wests Tigers hooker, he can’t get a start at the moment, stuck behind Jake Simpkin, he was named in the reserves this week and Magic Round,” The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio said on
Triple M Breakfast.
“It is the St George Illawarra Dragons and the Raiders that have been offered Jacob Liddle.
“Both clubs are stretched in that position, the dummy-half area, Liddle has been very much a part of the Tigers fabric since 2016, he is a 25-year-old he has come through their system.
“But keep an eye on this one.”
