When I used to watch Wasps (before they folded) it was common for the club to have signed contracts way before the announcement, sometimes months. This was partly due to the way rugby contracts are negotiated, but the release of signings was normally carefully choreographed to supply a steady stream of good news, and to mitigate bad news. There was usually one late 'surprise' just before the start of the season. I think that was a bit more opportunistic based on who couldn't get a contract for the next season (or were still playing in Australia and NZ).

The announcement of Ruben leaving and the following and preceding good news was very reminiscent of this, so I suspect that they knew Nemane was staying for a good while and they were timing the news to cover the close season / season ticket sales,

Now we have the pre-season friendlies to get excited about, it would appear that bar possibly one more signing the transfer news is finished.
