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.

@Smudge no making shit up, so Highlander's put him down as 2 year contract?,
He said it himself

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.
@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

@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.

@george33 sound explanation George
he's a real talent and should be in the ABs frame this year, Landers will want to keep him for the remainder of his contract tho... he will look great on billboards with de groot and Holland when promoting the landers 26 campaign -

@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?

That doesn’t actually answer my question though…and raises another
2 year contract with highlanders yes/no?
If no, are you saying he has an existing contract with the blues including some sort of sabbatical? If no then what do you mean by the blues won’t let him walk away? Explain the situation where an organisation has any control without a contract
Also, if no 2 year deal with the highlanders, why did he say he signed one?

All the contracts are centralised through NZ rugby. Both NZ rugby and specific Super Rugby club are parties to the contract. To cancel that arrangement, you have to cancel your entire contract with NZ rugby, not just the super rugby squad.
There are not provisions like there are in the NPC contract that make it easy for players to move around the country. It is specifically set up, you’d assume, to stop players doing exactly what you describe.
They are not going to draft a contract for a 4-5 cap, unknown, essentially fringe member of the blues squad, to allow him to move between clubs with ease.
If he was try and jump ship and not honour his contract, the Highlanders would have more than reasonable grounds to pursue him, the blues, and Nz rugby if it was allowed. What you’re describing just won’t happen
