Highlanders 2025

[Smudge]

A few things can be true here:

• Tangitau signed a contract to play for the Highlanders.
• He has quietly been harbouring a desire to head back to the Blues.
• The departure of Telea opens up a better spot for him in the Blues squad.
• JJ and Highlanders supporters naturally want him to stay.

But, regardless of the strength of your sources, george, to simply argue in the face of the bare-faced fact - AS REPORTED BY THE HIGHLANDERS - that he signed a two-year contract does you or your credibility absolute no favours. As sloppy as the Highlanders comms/media work can be, they aren't making a mistake like that in their own press release.

@Kiwiwomble ok, know, man doing my best here to keep going, u Highlander's just keep coming,,

In fairness because you don’t actually answer questions, you make statements, then spend the rest of the time diverting by making comments about knowing secrets the rest of us don’t

And masons guaranteed bench spot has gone out the window so maybe they don’t mean much

Because it only counts when the Highlanders grab a good player. That the proper teams want back. It is fine when we do what we are meant to do and sign shit players.

JRK will go back to the Blues eventually. Tele'a won't be isn't good enough. Good players can break their contracts. The Landers can't break the contract of shit players though.

Yeah but I'm right, this time ,

As I say, you might be right about him breaking his contract early - time will tell. But don't just make shit up about the contract length.

@Kiwiwomble I answer questions, ask me, tell you what I no.,that's all I can do.

Did you not read the link I posted? Or did you just take on the fuck wit comment?

[george33]

@Kiwiwomble ask away, I'm here got another 20 minutes., truth nothing but the truth,

[george33]

@SouthernMann is that Laurie Mains.

[Kiwiwomble]

@george33

Is it your understanding he didn’t sign a two year contract? If so, how does that reconcile with his own comments about having another year after this one?

@george33 george you have some good sources, is there any particular reason why Caleb cannot stomach seeing out the 2nd half of his contract in Dunedin?

[george33]

@Grooter he's a Auckland boy, and basically wants to come home, he's a Blues man deep down, family big to obviously, be a main stay in Auckland NPC this season, unless and hopefully AB selection gets him.

[Kiwiwomble]

@george33 you can see how none of that actually gets you out of a contract can’t you?…so it goes back to my question
