Fair question! But saying we'll likely finish 13th to 15th is not a fact, it's a prediction.Is it pessimism if what @Ryan is saying are simply facts?
Condolences @Ryan.Well I buried my Aunt (who raised me) yesterday, and carried her coffin, so no, I'm not in the best headspace.
So sick of farking everything !
Just remember though, to you it's just a game, to others it can be a whole lot more. On my behalf, my expectations and standards for our club have dropped and reduced so much, 12th - 15th is path of the course now. So while I'm frustrated and annoyed with our ridiculous staffing / players, winning 40 odd percent of our games just is nowadays.
Sorry for your loss dude. I can only assume from your passion for manly that it would have hit you hardWell I buried my Aunt (who raised me) yesterday, and carried her coffin, so no, I'm not in the best headspace.

I’m not a betting man, but my calcs say that we just need to win a bit over 50% of our games to make the 8. With Brooks and a fit turbo and a speed to burn backline, I think that will be a sure thing to make the 8 !Pessimism is a legitimate attitude, and I doubt anybody goes out of their way to feel pessimistic. Manly are currently $31 long shots for next year's comp so it's not as though Ryan's views are over the top.
As for myself, for whatever reason, I prefer to think that if we got 12th without Turbo and with Schu misfiring, we are likely to do a lot better than 12th next year. Currently Rabbits are ranked 4th (at $9) and Chooks 5th ($10), I see Manly as fairly similar to their level. I live in hope!
Winnings hard if our forwards aren't winning anything though.I’m not a betting man, but my calcs say that we just need to win a bit over 50% of our games to make the 8. With Brooks and a fit turbo and a speed to burn backline, I think that will be a sure thing to make the 8 !

Not really a footy fan, but Dragons, because my grandpa (her Dad) was a dragons fan, too. Don't have it much better than us, maybe worse - Shane Flanagan. HahaCondolences @Ryan.
Was your Aunty a Manly fan too?
Thank you for sharing your Worthy honorable moment with your Aunt @RyanWell I buried my Aunt (who raised me) yesterday, and carried her coffin, so no, I'm not in the best headspace.

The Pessimistic Perspective ..Pessimism is a legitimate attitude, and I doubt anybody goes out of their way to feel pessimistic. Manly are currently $31 long shots for next year's comp so it's not as though Ryan's views are over the top.

Injuries are part of the gameInjuries will be the factor that determines if we make the 8 or not.

And thank you everyone. For two weeks I haven't gotten out of bed. I'm trying my hardest to just push myself to shower, but that's it - I have no motivation or energy - I'm writing this I'm bed at almost 1pm haha As you could all possibly imagine, being me makes it very hard to find many allies in life, and my Aunty (at 29 years old) took me on , after my father tried to kill me as a small kid, so I owe her everything. I had a good life. Unfortunately, because she gave me consistency, and lack of beatings, I chose to stay with her and not return to my mother - which then cost them their relationship. My mother gave her $50, and claimed she divorced me. Anyways, good times, haha - but yeah, she was an amazing woman.
Depression is real guys. Reach out if you ever even half start getting it. Use me as the example. Think to yourself, I don't want to turn into him hahahaha
