Only reason for that is that he knew if Opie rejoined the table at church, he would go against jax on many things and jax needed someone in his pocket (aka tig now). I mean when jax explained the kill clay vs save the club and opie said jax made the wrong choice.

I also think you nailed it. Very good analysis!
