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.

| Quote: Stu M "When he first came back a few weeks ago he looked relatively lean and in good shape however when he came back after the international break he looked quite out of shape.
It looked like he spent the week off continually eating. The players having time off has been a bug bear of mine and I have argued with other Saints fans about this. They had the CC SF weekend off and obviously the Final and the players were given time off, most of which went on holiday. The same thing happened with the international weekend and again most went away. They then came back and produced the horror show against Cas.
By contrast Wigan have played every week including the WCC and seem to be getting better every week. How many holidays do they need?'"
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.

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.

| Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "Several wingers and centres and then a forward should Matautia leave, which is looking increasingly likely. I've been given names but I wont be plastering them on here.
The emergence of Robertson, Whitby and Roberts means we are highly unlikely to sign anyone to play in the halves. Those 3 should thrive under our new incoming attack coach.......'"
Not if Lomax continues to get selected. I must admit though that I enjoyed watching Robertson last night, after a shaky start he grew into the game. The lad has got great footwork.

| Anyone see the Reserves game today? Very surprising scoreline. Wigan reserves normally beat us so I was amazed with the score.
Wigan needed to win as well with losing at Huddersfield and drawing with London

Just looked. That is a hammering 10-50

| I've watched the reserves a couple of times this year and have been pretty underwhelmed with the performances, especially when it comes to the desire to defend their line. On paper the Wigan side looked strong today, as it did when they played Huddersfield recently but for whatever reason it's just not happening. I normally see a young Wigan side and see a couple of lads who I'm convinced will make it but with guys like Eckersley and Farrimond in the seniors, I don't see too many at that level currently. I think Douglas has a strong chance and I like Kerr and Ratchford when I see them but there aren't many others who jump out at me.
