Stewart confident of return

[lsz]

The 'Prince of Brookvale’, Brett Stewart, is confident he will return from injury against Cronulla Sutherland Sharks this Monday night.

Having missed the opening two rounds after suffering a hamstring strain in the trial against Ipswich Jets, Stewart says he will undergo further fitness tests before making a final decision on his return.

“I’ve got a fitness test on Friday and over the weekend. I won’t be pushing it. If it is not ready, it isn’t ready,’’ Stewart declared this morning.

“It is a long season and it is only round three. Fingers crossed, I should be out there on Monday night at Brookie.”

Watch the interview with Stewart above as he talks about the injury and his thoughts on the opening two matches.

Desperately need him back, even then I wouldn't put money on us to win.

Perhaps not but we will be better organised.

I sincerely though hope he's not being rushed back in due to our predicament.

I hope he takes his own advice and sits out if it's not ready and he isn't pressured to play. It's a difficult 4-5 rounds coming with a couple of short turn arounds but plenty of time to rest in the period after that.

11 day turn around between rounds 7-8, and byes between rounds 9-10 and 11-12.

Yep 3 games in 11 days between rounds 3 - 5 is ridiculous! Don't think he would handle 2 x 5 day turn arounds.
