Xavier Savage's injury relieves coach Ricky Stuart from the tough decision of dropping his son Jed.
A heart-breaking injury to Canberra Raiders star wing Xavier Savage comes with a silver lining for coach Ricky Stuart.
He is no longer faced with the decision to drop his son Jed for Saturday's clash with Wests Tigers, and possibly dash his hopes of playing on the Raiders' first premiership team since 1994.
It was a prospect that Stuart says he had already discussed with Jed before Canberra's miracle golden-point win over Penrith in Mudgee last Friday.
