uh doesn't that article literally admit to contract tampering?

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.

He was free to negotiate new deal from Nov 1 last year. Once he'd made a decision to sign with them from 2022 onwards it was then he maneuvered for an early release to head across this season. Nothing illegal though maybe questionable integrity there.

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.

He was one of my favourites to watch. He has taken his game to a whole new level, great ball runner, very mobile, pretty solid in defence. Very impressive overall. I wish him well but unfortunately he’s dead to me

I remember you (or someone else with EXACTLY the same narrative) rolled out that story at the time and it prompted a lot of angst and anti club sentiment. But my memory is that a lot of information subsequently leaked including his signing fee that pretty much refuted this.

Wasn’t me, I wasn’t a regular poster when the situation played out, but that is the story.
Obviously there are those that are gonna seee the story differently from different perspectives and I absolutely respect that, I’m not here for an argument.

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.

I couldnt be bothered going back to dig it up, but someone posted here the EXACT same narrative and over a short time it completely fell to bits, from memory over the 24hr deadline and other things.
I dont doubt that this is the story YOU were told but based on actual known facts, you are hearing a curated version.
