Another article on the Lions website regarding the contract status of James today.

In the article, a couple of points stuck out to me;
I honestly don't feel too confident with retaining Aish. Everyone knew he was a unique pick and his name is royalty in SA.
BUT, we've done everything we can to change the football culture, welfare department from the last few years, and everyone bar Aish and Cutler(Who's close to resigning) has extended. If he goes, I don't think it'll be to SA after the speech from Lethal and Swann a few months ago.
FYI, a separate thread to keep it away from roster watch and so opposition supporters can also have an input.

Swann remains hopeful that the 18-year-old will commit to the Lions soon after Christmas but says all the club can do is create a positive environment that makes him want to stay.
He acknowledged that retaining players was always a challenge and that the club knew it needed to be winning games as well as having a strong player welfare program to keep players.
