LIDDLE RETURNS<\/p>\n
Jacob Liddle has been named to return this weekend for the Red V having been unavailable for the side’s opening two matches due to a hamstring issue.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old is fresh off a career year having appeared in all 24 games in 2025 notching nine tries whilst tallying 662 tackles at over 94 per cent efficiency.<\/p>\n
Liddle nabbed match-winning tries last year versus Melbourne and Manly as he and co-captain Damien Cook developed into a stellar one-two punch in the hooking role.<\/p>\n
