Marin Yabsley has been told to keep his head up, his hands high and help Genesis Brighton Bears all the way to the play-offs.
Yabsley was a very disgruntled figure after playing just five first-half minutes in last Sunday's 78-73 comeback win over Leicester.
Although he had an ice pack on his knee as he watched the second half, coach Phil Waghorn has confirmed his back-up centre was fit to play if required.
Now, after a clear-the-air chat, Waghorn reckons Yabsley, along with forward Demaija Stewart, can play a key role off the bench.
And that is likely to start against the sizeable line-up fielded by Chester Jets in this weekend's double-header.
The teams meet at the Triangle tomorrow (7pm) and at Chester's compact Northgate Arena on Sunday, with Jets also taking on Sheffield tonight.
