Bad news YG, it's not Briers, it's Ian Watson

If they are only rumours then why not? Is the current attacking coach on his way out?

Oh there’s plenty rumours doing the rounds that we’ve all heard. Opacic, Swift, Handley all been mentioned openly on redvee. Then there are others as well which may or may not turn out to be true.

Yeah I believe Briers will replace Frayssinous.

Redvee? It is but a wish list. I don’t understand your reluctance unless you are trying to edge your bets. I won’t hold your feet to the fire, I promise.

Because sometimes I get told stuff and get asked not to make it public. Why would I burn my bridges by blabbing? Not sure I know what you mean by hedging my bets. I’ve said we won’t be signing Drinkwater - I think that’s fairly definitive from me.

Stu M who posts on here knows I get bits here and there and I’ve sent NickyKiss info in the past that wasn’t public. So I’m not some fantasist who makes things up.

I don't disagree really, but I suppose the counterpoint would be that a better time to judge is at the end of the season and the state of the squads going into knock out rugby. Wane's first season immediately comes to mind when we were battering teams earlier in the year but picked up injuries and ran out of gas when it mattered.

I don't think we'll see a repeat this year, but I'd be lying if I said wasn't a bit concerned by the lack of chances to rest throughout the season.

Exactly, there is a reason the double has only been done 6 times in 28 years.

Ok mate don’t get upset if you would rather keep your information within the inner circle then that’s fine.

YG pm'd me earlier and they're in talks for Dec Patton, Sammy Kibula and Derrell Olpherts.

Keep it under your hats.

Not upset in the slightest. You’re asking me for names and I’m telling why I won’t share them. It’s not difficult.

Tristan Sailor is one

If he comes to play 6 for them he will be a good signing but if it's to play 1 he's a liability under the bomb

Hull making a big play for him and Broncos keen to retain also.

If Lam shows interest in a fullback/stand off then jump on would probably be the best advice. Saints are in a strange position though, in that they need signings but probably don’t want to sign lads on 3/4 year deals because of this crop of kids like Robertson and Whitby. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
