The problem last year was that Jye came in on a high average and couldn't drop below it and therefore couldn't drop into reserve which is what he desperately needed.
There was always a decent rider there but we didn't have enough points in the team at the time to be able to carry him.
At least by having his average reduced this season he has now being able to get a gig and is starting to show his ability.
He has previously beaten many of the top boys in Aussie land.
A reserve berth is obviously good for his confidence.
