The only lesson to be learned is that Ken Hinkley isn’t up to it.
Class should’ve been dismissed 7 years ago.
At the very least he should've been done at the end of 2022.
After barely making it through a 5 year stretch which yielded one solitary final (an embarrassing home elimination final defeat), he managed to get his team to back to back home preliminary finals - the first lost in somewhat admirable but still disappointing fashion, the second pound for pound one of the most disgraceful performances in the history of the comp. He then followed that up with his worst season - 10-12/11th - in what was his tenth season at the helm.
Any other club he's done at that point. His reign would've ended at 10 years and been somewhat comparable to say Brad Scott at North. But no, we continue on for at least another 2 years and surprise surprise have so far seen all of the same stuff as we had seen in the preceding 10 years - last year's home final meltdown followed by whatever middling crap this year will end up being.
