Is Xavier Savage set to be benched after his first game of the year in the NRL?
If the promise made last week by Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart to Albert Hopoate is true, Savage is likely the man on the chopping block.
Stuart vowed to put Hopoate back in the NRL side for their Saturday night clash in the capital against Parramatta after the winger had to miss Magic Round to attend his sister's wedding.
