@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?
@george33 seriously, whats change? what has triggered the contract changing?

@Kiwiwomble man u Highlander's get upset, probably get backed up shortly by a somebody actually in the knowledge also.

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

@Kiwiwomble have I actually let u down B4, maybe , but I now the kid, and lots of the Blues boys, any way.

....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

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.

Jeez we are going to need to get some loosies to come and give us a bit of a hand. May be getting Blair Ryall back from Japan. No Renton, Naeata likely goone too as he seems well and truly unsighted now

I don't think Renton is permanently on the naughty step, and would suggest him heading to Australia is a bit of an olive branch.

@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.

So our loosies at the moment who Joseph will play are Withy, Lasaqa, Howden, Loft and Stodart. That's it. Michaels is back in Dunedin still, and seems like he will only play for Kaikorai this year.

@george33 yes George you have the two established ABs wingers, I barely remember Tangitau getting a run under Cotter... if Tangitau asks for a release due to compassionate grounds there just so happens to be a super team on the north shore, they're allowed 3 non tongan/samoan reps, Savea, Graig, Savage. I'm sure Umaga would be interested.
