Ken Hinkley

Tom, what does this mean for us and Brad last night's result?

Does it mean anything to you?

Well, like I said earlier off the top, what's the identity of your side when you're trying to go through this rebuild?

And I look at McWalter and what he's trying to do with his side, and I'm still trying to work out what are we trying to do on field?

And he's in his second year.

And then you look at Adam Uzay, and from the beginning, he wanted the spirit and fight bit as an underlying, we do this no matter what.

But the way they play...

It's pretty aggressive in terms of a straight line game, Ken.

And every now and then they'll switch it and go straight.

But I can see it.

And I can see Taranto, Lynch, Hopper, Short, Broad and Vlosten all play their roles in a really set way.

They know what they're doing in terms of their positioning.

So it's clear for me what evolution looks like for them.

And when I look at the Bombers, I don't think they've worked out their identity just yet.

Even with a few injuries here and there before the game, I'm trying to work out what's the DNA that we're working on.

And I think, Ken, when you start at a club, you've got to put a few lines in the sand about this is us as a team, this is what we do well, and this is what we're going to fall on when times are tough.

So I think, Ken, they're still working on that, let alone winning games.

Yeah, I remember when Paul Roos took over and the Goodwin succession plan just started and he was playing one-on-one and I thought, oh, we're going to have a field day against this mob.

We played them at the G, we won by 114 points and it was like, you know, this team's miles off.

But Roosie had a plan and it was, we're going to be good defensively and we're going to be honest with the way we play and as much as they took some pain for the first couple of years, you can see the slow development about accountability and then you sort of start working into a bit more strategy and
