Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel says the west Walians have made strides to retaining players after several months of uncertainty.
The inability to offer contracts has hung over Welsh rugby, with players left uncertain over their futures for next season and beyond. However, with a standard contract model agreed on and a new financial deal signed off, the four Welsh sides are now able to offer deals to players.
That saw the Dragons become the first side since the contract freeze ended to sign deals with players for next season, announcing seven contract extensions last week.
