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]

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.
