Elias will be hoping to help transform Scarlets’ this season, after a disappointing 14th place finish in the URC in 2025-26.
“We’ve made good signings in the off-season and some are still to come in,” said Elias.
“They’ve added to the group because you look at the age of the squad it is quite young.”
Elias feels the Scarlets have benefitted from the permanent appointment of director of rugby Nigel Davies who has been installed to help head coach Dwayne Peel.
“It’s good because he takes a step back and he’s overseeing everything,” said Elias.
“So it’s interesting whenever he comes in and addresses the group, everyone listens and he commands the room.
“It’s good for us as players, but particularly the younger guys with some of the messaging, the stuff he’s come out with they won’t have heard before.
“Sometimes it is just talking about the passion and emotion of what it means to be a Scarlet. He’s good at driving and bringing that out of players.”
The west Wales side start the season at home in a Welsh derby against Cardiff on Saturday night with Elias saying his side are still smarting from defeat in Llanelli in April.
“We feel we owe them one from last year,” said Elias.
“We controlled the home game for large parts but they came back strong and it highlights the importance of the 80-minute match.”
