New signing announcement needed soon...
« on: Tuesday 29-Jan-2019, 09:36* »
I know others have said it but if the Quins social media hype ends up being just news that players we should keep if we're ambitious and Gustard's regime is as good as is rumoured...it's going to get rather underwhelming very quickly.

I'd say today would mark that point if it's yet another contract renewal.

I'm happy to see out the rest of the week - should have a good idea by the weekend. There is, after all, a logic in building to a crescendo. If we're getting new signing announcements this week then I wouldn't be surprised to see them on Friday.

And this isn't "National New Signings Announcement Week" - so as much as it would be nice to hear about new signings, if they're not ready and signed, they're not ready and signed.

Harlequins like to synchronise new signings with the current team a player is in. Announcing re-signings doesn't need that.

I quite like what the club are doing. Would not surprise me if all the re signings are announced before any new ones are.  There is also the fact that the players current club may not want it announced yet.

I agree. I'm fed up with all this good news about resignings. I want to be told about the signing of a new player who I can immediately have a go at about how he'll be missing for internationals, or has an injury record, or isn't as good as a player that we've just released.

There's too much good news around at the moment. Come on Quins, give us something to gripe about!

To clarify, I’m very pleased about the guys resigning, just think the social media driven fanfare is a bit much. Did like the Danny Cae highlights video though, I will admit.

Gives everyone (or they hope to) a lift before the important next month of rugby where we have three home games and the chance to stay up in top 4 if we win them all, before the hard work starts in mid /late March/April. Cant do any harm, but if you're too excited/bored, just turn off your social media services...

Yeah look, just to say this isn't general grumpiness, and I'm not nearly as old as the posters on here who hate social media hype regardless.

It's just banging the hell out of PR for a week on players we already have signing new contracts is going to be overkill unless it builds to something bigger...

The James Lang announcement is a prime example. I'm delighted, think he's great -- but I wasn't waiting with any degree of anxiousness to find out if he'd re-signed and would have probably just shrugged and moved on if he hadn't.

I'm quite enjoying it - based on yesterday I'm looking forward to who is coming next but not expecting it to be new signings until we have all the re-signings out of the way - maybe some surprises compared with the speculation on here - who knows?

Not impressed with the lang video.  Could have given the van a clean first

The problem is that in football the "signing" videos have become a massive thing, but that doesn't translate to a rugby player staying at his club.

If they do a cool signing video for a new player I'll be impressed.

It's fine, it's just getting a bit annoying.

I guess there is a chance these may be aimed at kids (maybe not, but you never know).
