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.
