The Dragons are at risk of losing one of their in-form players.

According to Wide World of Sports, Jacob Liddle is being eyed off by rival clubs. 

The hooker has been one of St George Illawarra's most consistent performers since joining in 2023.

His influence has notably spiked this season, scoring six tries in 10 appearances despite coming off the bench.

With veteran Damien Cook still preferred in the No. 9 jersey, the Dragons are reportedly "in danger" of having Liddle depart. 

The 28-year-old played a season-high 52 minutes in last weekend's win over the Broncos, scoring an impressive length-of-the-field try. 

Liddle is currently contracted until the end of 2026, although he has an option in his favour for next season.

"Jacob is happy at the Dragons but obviously would like to start games and have more match time," his manager, Gavin Orr, said.

"We will see how things play out."
