Liddle faces former side
Dragons hooker Jacob Liddle will come up against his former club for the first time when the Wests Tigers make the trip down to Wollongong on Thursday night.
The 26-year-old debuted for the Wests Tigers back in 2016 as a teenager and spent seven seasons with the club playing 74 games and scoring a dozen tries.
In his first year with the Red V, Liddle has scored three tries, assisted on four, and averaged over 31 tackles per game in 15 appearances.
Red V boosted by returning trio
Ben Hunt, Tyrell Sloan, and Jack Bird are all set to be back on deck for the Dragons when they take on the Wests Tigers on Thursday night in Wollongong.
Hunt returns from Origin duty at seven with Jayden Sullivan ruled out with a hamstring strain whilst Sloan returns from a calf strain at fullback to replace Paul Turner and Jack Bird comes onto the interchange as he makes his way back from nursing a knee complaint.
Jaydn Su’A (shoulder) and Ben Murdoch-Masila (knee) are both unavailable for interim coach Ryan Carr.
Dan Russell earns his first NRL start in the second row after impressing in a 46-minute debut against the Raiders in Round 19.
Nofoaluma, Laurie back in for visitors
David Nofoaluma and Daine Laurie both return for the Wests Tigers with Asu Kepaoa and Will Smith dropping out.
Rookie rake Tallyn Da Silva also earns a recall on the interchange with Jake Simpkin listed among the reserves.
Skipper Apisai Koroisau made a successful return from a jaw fracture last round against the Knights and lines up at hooker for Tim Sheens' side.
