Fantastic piece of news.
Fabulous news - he's quickly reminded us all of how good he is since his return from injury.

Is this a popcorn day?

As the club knew that Nadolo and Hegarty were leaving mid season it is probable that the money saved has already been allocated. Any signings for next season will be balanced with departures, I do hope we are able to keep Brown and that the signing of O.H.C is confirmed. I have no knowledge of the wages of any players so cannot comment on how much cap we have available, I do expect that shortly there will be an announcement of departing players including possibly a few from our Senior Academy with others promoted to fill the gaps also possibly some from that squad to move into the first team listing. Probably we will not complete our plans until we know exactly who will be involved in the World Cup of until our new Head Coach has had a chance to make his own assessment of the players available to him.

Excellent news I think there were genuine worries he would to one of the 2 Scottish teams.

Great news, an international lock in the making, great to see the loyalty, Glasgow and Edinburgh must have been knocking at the door!!

All 3 could potentially be involved in 2024's 6Ns...

Brown, Atkinson & Shillcock mean we likeley have a top drawer 10, 15 & 22 throughout the World Cup

Popcorn Tuesday… Hopefully West is on todays list, been very impressed by how he’s settled in.

Wonder if it’ll go quiet then for a while after today.
I also wonder if McKellar will be bringing any players over with him, he must have knowledge of the next Potter and Porter in that tier below super rugby, to maximise bang for buck within the cap limits.
Another outside back depending on Murimurivalu, another prop depending on Leatigaga, maybe another back row depending to replace Jansen.

Might be wrong but haven't re-signings and new signings been done separately in the last year or so

They have but I would not have thought that there was much business left to tidy up. Cannot see more than a couple of new signings to announce as the squad looks pretty covered in most areas now (subject to departures).

I would hope that departures are announced before the last home game of the season but that was not the case last year.

Yeah sometimes the following day, but sometimes on the same day...

I reckon it's all about how many signings we've got to get through.
