The only 2 certainties are that Genge and Ford have agreed new deals.
Also being reported that Lavanini has agreed a new deal though nothing confirmed, but that Tuilagi has not agreed an amended contract, again at the moment speculation

Of course, they have until midnight, so things may not be all decided yet.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Rumoured to have been extended to 5pm on Thursday, some deals yet to be agreed but parties still wanting to reach agreements.

Agreed deadline was 5 pm
Edit hadn’t realised the Thursday thing, makes you wonder how much time they need, but on the other hand it could be the likes of Taufua and Lady Gaga who have been in isolation and not had the opportunity for face to face meetings.

If there is another extended deadline to Thursday, I’m hopeful we can still reach a deal with Manu.

Not sure of my feelings if he did decide to leave, but with the Lions especially still on the table I’m not convinced Manu would actually depart.

I'd be very upset if Manu left,hes been very well looked after and stood by!

On Lavanini Instagram he has just wished Taufua all the best, which sounds ominous

Fan of Manu. Yes costs a lot but so does a Range Rover (other options are available) and they also go wrong and can cost a lot to maintain. Second hand and trade in value not great though.

Yes I hope he does stay has proved his loyalty in the past long may it continue.

However as stated many times one player is not bigger than the Club also there is no I in TEAM

Only one of them to me would be a huge loss. 3 really wouldn't be missed.
To win is not as important as playing with style!
