Western Force coach John Mitchell has had his coaching restrictions against him lifted by the club - although an independent review is still yet to be tabled.

Mitchell was back on deck when the Force resumed pre-season training on Monday.

But the former All Blacks coach, who is contracted to the Force until the end of 2011, admitted he needed to temper his ways after complaints from players and staff forced the club to place him on restricted duties, which limited his access to players and also involved a mediation process with staff.

"It has been a very interesting, challenging and beneficial period over the last 40 days," Mitchell told reporters on Monday.

"It is going to require all of us to pull together to be totally committed and obligated in putting our hands up moving forward as a group, and caring about each other.

"I dont think I need to explain my style, I have had success in the past with groups and there is no reason why we won't gain success here as a group going forward.

"I am the first to admit that I am not perfect and I need to evolve my leadership going forward, and I am looking forward to that.

"I don't feel on my own at all."

Retired West Australian Supreme Court Judge Robert Anderson QC, in charge of the independent inquiry, completed his interviews with players and staff on Sunday night and is expected to hand down his findings later this month.
