Mitchell to be patient with prized trio

Western Force coach John Mitchell says he is prepared to give his star-studded recruits more time to become familiar with the side's playing style following last night's 8-7 defeat to the Highlanders at Subiaco Oval in Perth.

What about the star studded team of last year.

Put Shepard at Full back, Digby I on wing at teach Cross to pass the ball before he is taken down.

League players are good runners but it is drilled into them NOT to pass the ball. This will have to be hammered out of Cross or he should go to the bench.

Drew M - star player. We still have to see that.

30705 supporters. That at the first game. Without being negative I predict that will not happen next time round. People wanted to see a lot more than they got. And don't tell me it was hot. Yes it was - for both teams. And the winners came out of a cold NZ so they were feeling it much more

Having said all that how about thrashing the Stormers next week. I will be in Cape Town for business so what about letting the Force supporters there be proud of their team.
