Similar to Josh P. this season - he could be earning a lot more if he had a bigger home track but he knows (and Sam says) that when he has mastered Armadiddle he'll be able to ride everywhere.
Absolutely agree.
But such minority sports as ours need every inch of coverage we can get.
But it's a big price to pay.
I think that's what the headline writer wrote not actually what JC said which was more on the lines of the lowest scoring so far of all the 2016 newcomers.
But that's newspapers for you - as you know by the paper headlines about our football team.
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.
Looks like it could have been mighty close at weegieville if Bridger had been there.
And good to see one of our boys scoring well at reserve for the 2nd meeting in a row - take a bow Mr. Etheridge.
God this taps talks so much sense!
Why is there no-one on the BSPA who could have foreseen the issue.
I seem to remember plenty of posts on the BSPA over the winter outlining their concerns about the potential averages fiasco.
Though not many suggesting that averages might be conveniently reduced.
