I think you have to see the Marty Johns show to understand the funny side of it? The joke was centred around Jake and his courteous way of seeing the best in people. He genuinely talked up the Tigers, which seemed odd to those on the show because we haven’t won a game since Adam was a boy.
“It is tough times at the Tigers when the club is praised for chalking up another defeat.”

Thanks for your insight champion @twentyforty and I can live with what you said.
But reading the quotes that I stated from the article, it wasn't so much about another defeat, it was rather about the way the team played yesterday.

Maybe partially Brooks fault, but on what planet does a centre let an opponent run straight through without being touched and not follow his inside team mates by coming in and crunching the player hitting the hole ?
It doesn’t work in touch and sure as hell doesn’t work in tackle.

Agree. Kepoa’s reads are terrible as are his hands . He tries but is a reserve grader through and through

2 telling moments which lost us the game.
Stef running at Lionel Richie and losing the ball gave Manly possession which they scored from.
Saab and Tupou challenged for that bomb, it was a good contest and I don't blame Tupou he was unlucky not to come down with it.....Talau just standing there and not even shielding Tupou from Saab showed what a lazy mediocre player he is.

Brooks was just standing in the background looking on also, we need players who do the little things like the top teams. Standing there watching the play instead of becoming part of it never ends well

Sums up Brooks and Talaus careers. Just haven't got the mindset for basic fundamentals
 
Very interesting Zero tackle article they said -
Should be impossible to lose to Manly
We had 58% possession
500 more run meters
7 more sets 8 more completed sets
10 less missed tackles 5 less errors
We lose in last 10 mins when they lose Parker and Turbo
How we didn't score more pts is the story of our season
The closer we get to a win the more clunky we get
ZERO says Brooks with 196 NRL games is at the heart of this and he and Pascoe are the two constants thru many years of this .
Time for change here is NOW !

Bateman can't escape some criticism. Lost the ball at a critical time that allowed Manly to get back into the game. Talau forced a six again with a great kick chase/ tackle which we failed to capitalize on - not a lazy play. You can pick and choose plenty of moments where players could have done better, and or made errors that impacted the outcome. Klemmers challenge was dumb as, the defensive lapse for Uko's try.
The only difference in the end was goal kicking and penalties. We had plenty of opportunity to win and just couldn't get it done.
