Certainly sounds very similar to the rumour this time last year with Ma'u which of course turned out to be true.
As has been said it's hard to compete with the lure of Perpignan, the weather, the lifestyle and the financial benefits. Again same with Ma'u he's probably thinking a couple of years living in the South of France will be a great life experience for him and his family before it's time to call it a day and return home.
To be fair, Takarangi was a decent player. Off the field behaviour did for him of course.
Think we’re being prepared for the departure of Satae. It is what it is. Liked him to have stayed, but not at any cost.
More money and another quota spot available.
Takarangi arrived with a big reputation but never lived up to it. Overall his performances were very average. Smith played him even when he did not perform and perpetuated his poor decision making by remaining loyal even after his off field antics.

Is it coincidental Chris has had a recent short break in France?
