I predict the week between La Rochelle knocking us out of the Challenge Cup and the home game vs Connacht would be when an announcement about Nel would be made if he has signed up.

If you had news that big would you not get it out there in the lead up to the quarter final to give everyone a boost and help shift tickets?
Maybe clutching at straws but you would think if he was going for a proper big money deal elsewhere something would have leaked by now? The longer it goes on the more it seems like he might be sticking around, even if only for another season or two.

I think the longer there is no news that he is off elsewhere the greater the chance he is staying.
I expect a number of re-signings have already been done but not announced. However the Nel contract really needs sorted sooner rather than later. Think we can safely assume the SRU have made a decent offer to him(possibly best paid ER player?) and if he aint staying we could do with knowing so that budget can go elsewhere, is it not generally end May/June most rugby contracts end(?) so only a couple of months, time is therefore running out if he is off and we are looking to recruit others with the budget.

I know it's normally the sign of a bad coach if they sign their mates but a couple might help.

What odds on Tom Croft being our skipper next year?
