I don't doubt the Blues might want him back, and there may well be negotiations, but there is absolutely zero chance in the space of seven weeks, when he was somewhat of an unknown coming into the season, the Blues have already agreed terms, and the Highlanders have agreed to end his contract early.

another @george33 post bookmarked to look back on and chuckle one day

It reminds me of when you used to have a big night at the club and you'd end up talking to that old fella who's watched every game and has all sorts of conspiracy theories about NZ rugby.
That guy is George's sauce.

so the contract magically changed and someone looked at it and was all "damn!....its changed....we'd love to keep you but the contract has changed so you have to leave next year"
youre either being deliberately obtuse or a bit slow
the contract changing is a result of something else which i believe is obvious what i was actually asking? have the blues bought out his contract? has he got family issues and asked for compassionate release? does he hate it down here and threw his toys?

@george33 Bit like Roigard going to the Chiefs?
Super Rugby has been going for seven weeks, and I'm meant to believe Tangitau has already ripped up his contract, and the Highlanders have agreed to it that quickly?

If Caleb Tangitau left the Highlanders in 2027, I wouldn't be all that surprised, heck he might even leave after this season, but there is zero chance anything has been agreed this quickly for a player who has just got going... if that was the case, he'd have been left out the squad at some stage.

@frugby and i would argue there are more examples of the guys that got a decent shot at the landers, and performed....hanging around, these guys tent to stick with environments where they thrived, unless there is something outside the rugby drawing him back, hence my questions
cue delay in replying whilst he looks up what "obtuse" means
hes already claimed he heard it from Caleb, why not elaborate?

Just like Tangitau and Vikena were never coming in the first place?

It's one of the strangest reasons for knowing someone though. Why did his age matter?

once again, dont be a dick about it, you cant think people wouldnt respond if you drop and in say one of our best players, one we're really enjoying...is apparently ditching us early....and then not backing it up with any actual details

....thats doesn't mean anything, im actually his godfather and i know he's signing a 10 year contract....see how easy it is?
@george33 we're asking "WHY"? contracts are only broken with a reason
