If Stannis will use tunnels to get inside Winterfell, 1) how will he know about them, if even Bran didn’t? If they exist, Rodrik could have used them to take Winterfell back from Theon, or Bran to escape (if you can’t trust a kid with that datum, you should at least trust your long-service castellan of a retainer house). 2) Why WOULD they exist? Why have tunnels that create the risk of, well, this very scenario? It seems against the ideology of Starks re: their castle to ever flee the place.

1. Bran will tell him through tree-warging. Rodrik didn’t know about them, only Bran did.

2. We don’t know yet, but secret sally ports are actually quite a sensible part of castle design.
