TEWART KEEN TO MOVE ON
BRETT STEWART says he will consider becoming the face of league again - if he is offered the opportunity. ''I'd definitely think about it,'' he said. ''I'd have a long hard think. It's not something I asked for originally, but I'd cross that bridge if I come to it.'' Right now he is keen to right some of the wrongs. Stewart is facing a hefty pay day if his defamation case settles against News Limited. He had to wear a lot from sections of the media - including a front-page News Limited report that screamed he was ''too drunk to remember'' any of the events of the night - something that was totally incorrect. I spent half an hour with Stewart and his girlfriend, Jaime Baker, on Thursday and be sure they want justice when it comes to the way his story was reported. ''Yeah, some of the stuff that was published, I don't know where they get it from and I can't blame the public for what the media write or what was said. Around Manly it was all right. Quite a lot of people, they stayed loyal there. Anywhere else they seem to hate us.'' What Stewart struggled with was the knowing looks he got from people walking the street. ''In the past I'd think they'd be walking with their kids and they'd be pointing at me because I was Brett Stewart or whatever, but after these allegations when people were pointing or talking it was sort of paranoia I suppose … do they believe what they are reading? I did not have that problem before the allegations.'' Right now a holiday is on his mind. ''I'm looking forward to relaxing for a couple of months,'' he said.
