In difficult times (and Manly losing to the Knights after having a 16-0 halftime lead definitely qualifies), I (Si) often turn to the wisdom of Shakespeare.

The Big Willy S once said: "What’s gone, and what’s past help, should be past grief."

There's nothing we can do about Manly's on and off form this year. So we're doing our best to leave that grief in the past and greedily eyeing a Blues victory next week to drown out the sorrows.

In other words: we're coping hard.

We had an absolute ripper of a Saturday night watching Manly welcome the Broncos to Brookvale oval for the first time in 9 years. Boy we've been inconsistent - but its better to be consistently inconsistent than consistently bad.

It's a tale of two halves in the recording studio this week (and by recording studio I mean our respective lounge rooms). First half of the podcast we try hard to cope with the disappointing loss against the Eels. Second half- well- it's all about the Blues, baby.

We had a good old-fashioned yap this Wednesday. So much so that we had to do a second recording session the next day to cover all the important stuff. Enjoy!

*REUPLOAD*

We review Magic Round (we're sick of magic-related puns from the commentary on Kayo hence no attempt from us) and preview Manly's post-bye return. Plus our obviously correct picks for NSW Blues lineup.

Finally a win to comment on! A goodun too. Plus we share our excitement over the Legendary Leichardt showdown.

Big news drop: Fogarty set to sign a three year deal at Manly this week.

+ We redo our ladder and reflect on another dire week on the Northern Beaches.

Have a happy easter all you rugba league fans!

A liiitle bit of a shorter episode this week, with not a whole heap to say after a loss to the red-hot storm over the weekend. But we're hanging onto positivity for dear life. It could be worse, right?
