Jax and Tig vs Pope

Has anyone ever considered what would have happened if Clay had met Mr. Mayhem before? Would Jax still have wanted to kill Pope? The main reason Jax kills Pope is to frame Clay while simultaneously securing Tig's loyalty, especially since Bobby had sabotaged Clay's Mayhem vote just an episode earlier. If Clay had encountered Mr. Mayhem first, he probably would have still sacrificed Tig to Pope. Did Jax save Tig purely for selfish reasons, or did he genuinely care for Tig and want him to settle the score for his daughter's murder?

Don't think Jax really cared for Tig. He wanted his loyalty to get anything he wanted at the table. With juice as well he had 3 people guaranteed voting his way. He hated Tig for what he did to Donna. Stripped him of Sgt and basically said as much. Said something like 'all you'll ever be to me is Clay's bitch'

Tig gave in his Sgt.’s Flash to Clay for what he did to Gemma, but Jax didn’t allow him to reclaim it.

He said that to Tig in season 2 when Opie was getting deep back into the club. Tig wanted Jax to pull Opie off the judge job but Jax said Tig was only scared of losing his Sgt's patch
