NRL officials will meet with the Manly rugby league club board this morning to discuss whether star full-back Brett Stewart should be allowed to play this weekend, now that he has been officially charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
The Manly board held an emergency meeting last night and decided Stewart will keep his spot in this weekend's game against the Bulldogs, despite the charge.
The Sea Eagles's training has been moved on Wednesday morning to a secret location ahead of this weekend's clash against the Bulldogs.
The 24-year-old was arrested on the weekend after a 17-year-old girl accused him of assaulting her on Friday night.
Stewart, who at the weekend declined a police interview and was released without charge, went to Dee Why police station on Tuesday night and was formally charged with sexual assault.
