I'll take "Manly didn't win, the other team lost" right up until full time on grand final day.
I expect nothing from the media troglodytes and they deliver week after week.
At one time I used to be like the OP thinking "why can't the media give credit when it is due, they are supposed to be professionals reporting on the game?"
But then I realised they are tribally aligned, editor beholden, non thinking bilge pumps, who measure their success in how many managers and players will give them 'scoops' rather than report on the game as they should.
Then all was well with the Manly world. 🙂
