Five-eighth Cody Walker has declared "the South Sydney of old" are back and ready to make an impact on the NRL finals after an inconsistent start to their campaign. With a tough draw to round the season out, the finals credentials of last year's runners-up appeared in serious doubt, especially after a hefty loss to fellow finals aspirants St George Illawarra in round 15. "We're playing our style of footy, back to the South Sydney of old," Walker said. "Kicking to corners, really backing our defence and having a defensive mindset to start the game. We've really done that the last two weeks. "Now it's about keeping going with it. Nothing really needs to change. We need to improve in certain areas of the game but we understand where those areas are." "Mitchell is a huge inclusion for not only the team but my game as well," Walker said. "I've played a number of games with him now and we've formed a pretty good combination. "He just adds another threat to our team. Obviously, he's quite skilful, big-bodied. He's hard to handle and he's dangerous. He's an important part of our team." "We're in a results-driven business and I hate losing," he said. "Regardless of my form, (losing) is going to make us not really enjoy our footy. "But obviously, results change that and I think that's sort of been the case over the last couple of weeks." "We're in a results-driven business and I hate losing," he said. "I don't see any dramas with him being back in the side," Walker said.
