       Announcement at 11 featuring a seagull and 2028.
       Probably Marcus, given he (and Marler) are big Brighton fans

       I’m not so sure it’s a contract renewal. It might be something
       to enhance the member experience. I hope I’m proved wrong.

       Sampu (on the DHL box) also means 10 in Filipino - definitely
       Marcus

       I'm inclined to agree with Noah on this one. In the image on
       instagram, the DHL box has the word Sampu on the lid, which can
       be translated as the number 10. Plus, given the date of 2028,
       the club wouldn't be able to commit to something nebulous to
       "enhance the member experience" so far off in the future.
       Of course the other option is that the club is going to play all
       their games in Brighton that season as they're busy building a
       new stadium at The Stoop! [emoji23]

       We could get Brighton Rock made in the Quins colours!
       Fred you are a genius!

       Marcus Smith has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal to
       stay at Harlequins until at least 2028.
       The 25-year-old Quins and England fly-half will continue to
       entertain The Stoop faithful for seasons to come after
       committing his future to his boyhood club, where he has
       developed into a leading global player.
       Smith is renowned for possessing an understanding of the game
       and leadership skills beyond his years that allow him to marshal
       his team on the pitch, whilst providing moments of magic with
       ball in hand that make him one of game’s most potent attacking
       threats.
       Smith was the second youngest player in Gallagher Premiership
       history to make their debut when he started against London Irish
       in September 2017, aged just 18 years and 200 days old.
       To date, the fly-half has accumulated 166 appearances in the
       Quarters and racked up a staggering 1,505 points, including 35
       tries.
       On the international stage, Smith has earned 39 caps and scored
       284 points with the red rose adorned on his chest. In 2021, he
       was also called-up to the British and Irish Lions’ tour of South
       Africa.
       “I’m super excited to sign a new deal with Harlequins,” said
       Smith. “I love the Club; it’s given me and my family a lot over
       the years and I’m looking forward to the future here.
       “Every time I come in to the training ground, I’m excited about
       the future of the Club because I can see the level of talent we
       have in the building. We’ve always prided ourselves on our
       homegrown talent, and I think everyone is going to see more of
       that in seasons to come.
       “Every time I play at The Stoop, I feel the love from the fans
       and their support for not only myself, but the team - I think
       they provide the best support this league has to offer.
       Personally, and collectively, we are all so grateful for them.
       “I’ve come through the Academy and still play with a lot of my
       best mates – hopefully we can achieve more of our dreams
       together.”
       Head Coach, Danny Wilson added: “Marcus is a world-class
       operator at fly-half. He has individual moments of brilliance
       and flair that can win rugby matches as well as the ability to
       manage games, which has seen him develop into an elite
       international fly-half.
       “Marcus works hard day-in, day-out and demonstrates a great
       level of dedication to the detail of the game, which is a core
       reason for his growth and development so far in his career.
       “He’s a product of our Academy system and a fantastic example to
       young aspiring players throughout our pathway, and wider rugby
       community of what hard work and talent can produce.
       “Marcus’ commitment to Harlequins until 2028 is testament to his
       relationship with the Club and vice versa. We’re all delighted
       he will be playing in the Quarters for years to come.”

       I was wrong. I'm eating humble pie.

       Who remember when as little as 4 years ago we nearly lost him
       because of the DoR at the time, the moment he signed we just
       raced up the table and won the Premiership in the best match in
       any tournaments in any sport ever!

       Will almost certainly be one of our marquee players so on big
       money. Plus central contract from England.
       Nice one, Smudge.
