Depending how you read it thus tweet (before the Steward announcement)

Either reads two to go (if pointing at the message above) or one (if the finger is counting a number) to go. So max of one more left for me...

It's likely that them writing 7 deals could be a mistake using a template from our last announcements which was 7 deals

Today…. So maybe more to come over coming days. Get all the young talent signed up, then maybe a couple of extensions for senior players.
Can’t see any more additions to the squad now, as much as I’d like to see another genuine 7 bought in to take the strain off Reffell. That said, maybe it frees up a pathway for Illone if we stay as we are.

I thought Reffell was on some sort of rolling contract which allows him to play for Wales while staying at the club.

With Liebenberg and Cracknell ability to play across the back row and Ilione waiting in the wings I think we are well covered

Nothing confirmed beyond the Welsh Press.

The main new contracts that I would like to see are Borthwick and the coaching staff. To sign new deals now would send the right message to the RFU when looking for Eddie's replacement.

If nothing else it protects the club financially, if it all goes wrong though its costly to get rid...

I think it would be more than that as Borthwick does not strike me as the sort to sign a new contract now if there was any intention to leave next year.

I don't know the specifics but didn't he do exactly that to Bristol

So with the suggestion that tomorrow may have more are we expecting tomorrow to be new signings?
