    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.

      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 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

                          @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?

                                @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 contract, he most likely had a lot of options in it when he signed for this season, Blues aren't stupid they were never going to let him walk away, for more than 1 year, the time has been put into him since he was 18, game time massive for him, Talea moving, and that was always on the cards, after not signing on last season.

                                        @Grooter yeah end of the day, he is probably 1 of the most exciting young wings, and has played 15 also, we've got going around in NZ , he's got some wheels.

                                          @SouthernMann respect all your comments , but Clarke, Talea in front, and remember none of those boys at this stage are re-signed beyond this season, but have heard both will, just need the pen on the paper.

                                          Why did Telea forget to put the pen on the paper George?
