Force coach Richard Graham has been talking up his side’s pre-season in Perth, with players certain to be told to take it easy on the turkey and pudding over the festive break.
While things might be progressing well on the training paddock, the big question as to who’ll fill James O’Connor’s orange boots is yet to be answered.
James Stannard impressed in the No.10 jersey late last season, so it won’t be a surprise to see him get first crack at fly half in 2012. However, Graham still needs to mould his bunch of misfit backs into some resemblance of a backline.
With this in mind, the Force coach will go the extra mile this Christmas, buying the man in the red suit a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue – he’d love a game plan and half a dozen new backline moves in return.
