I think he's doing it for his owner.

I agree with this idea in the conversation. The whole situation turned on its head after Rupert bought west ham. It turned into ruining what he loved in Richmond to beating his new love in west ham. Couple that with how he just became a dad with "new" Rebecca after not wanting/having kids with "old" Rebecca and the situation becomes much more complex.

Ted now has a responsibility to win in a sport he still barely knows shite about, so while I agree it is kinda out of Ted's character to immediately make the game plan "get the ball to Zava," I believe he has built up the trust and cohesion in the team enough to handle the diva superstar. Especially if the diva superstar wins games.

Another thing I was thinking about was the possible foreshadowing when Ted's son asked him why nate wasn't in the Lego display with the championship trophy, and Ted moved him closer. The more I think about it, the more I could see Nate not living up to the wunderkind title or Rupert's standards, getting sacked by west ham, and Ted taking him back at Richmond. I think we are all in agreement something is going to go down with Zava leaving for west ham, getting hurt, leaving Richmond, or something along those lines. Perhaps it could be a Roy+Jamie dream team combined with Nate who would know all of west hams players weaknesses playing against west ham on the last day of the season for the premiership trophy? Just an idea I had
