Two things stand out for me:
Was never about the money and wants to play finals. If the numbers are correct he's set to earn a massive upgrade money wise so to say it's not about the money is a bit rich.
Secondly Manly's roster apart from the Turbo brothers is pretty ordinary. I don't think even with an injury free Tom they'll make the 8. He goes down again they most certainly won't.
I know the story first hand and as a massive Tigers fan it’s an interesting one.
He is getting a big pay rise at Manly but was willing to take less at the Tigers to stay as he was comfortable here.
Hartigan is a ruthless and often disrespectful businessman and came through with a shocking first offer with a 24 hr deadline which Josh was angered by and therefore asked for an immediate release ... BUT... Hartigan’s work in recruitment this off-season makes me feel that oftentimes the best businessmen are ruthless and I think he is ultimately turning the club in the right direction.
Disappointing how it turned out though because Madge wanted to keep Josh and saw him as next in line to the captaincy.
That is not correct.
That is exactly how it played out.
Downvote me as much as you want, that is not how it played out. Josh showed himself to be chasing money and no spin you try to put on this will show otherwise.
You don’t know the story and never will. It is what it is and that’s the facts.
I do know the story, right down to Josh's demands. You may have been told this is what happened but you are wrong.
I do as well, and know you are wrong but we’ll leave it at that, not getting anywhere here.
If you want to come on here and detail a fabricated story to paint Josh in a good light, don't be surprised when you are told you are wrong.
And don’t be surprised when obviously fabricated agendas by this forum or the club being forced down your throat result in forum members leaving, when I actually enjoyed posting my input on juniors etc. here. I’m a Tigers supporter at the end of the day and just wanted to post my first hand perspective of the story.
I’ll see myself out.
