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?

@george33 said in Highlanders 2025:
@Kiwiwomble contracts obviously, he won't be a Highlander next season,
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?

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

Speaking of interesting rumours, Michael Manson hasn't cracked the bench for a while... I wonder if he might get a run this week?

we're probably having to sell Tangitau to cover the legal fees after not having mason on the bench

@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders 2025:
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.

Here's a podcast that was put up 10 days ago. Podcast is a bit of a punishing listen. Being quite matey
Couple of quotes:
-
Yeah, I thought it was going to be way worse. Actually enjoying it...
-
when asked if he saw it as a long-term thing. "I have another year to run down here, and we will see what the go is there then. But definitely loving my time here..."
Host: So, it is a 25-26 thing and then re-plan.
Response: "yeah will see what happens. But, yeah really enjoying my time here..."
It doesn’t take a genius to work out the kid is Auckland through and through. But I'd be highly surprised if Jospeh let's him walk about the door that easily.
-
-
Let's wait and see. Eh.
It would be a dick move to get a chance and throw it back in the face of the franchise that gave it to you, demanding an early release. For a team that barely gave him a run in the years prior.
Life can't be so hard that he can't honour the second half of a short term contract.
