Playing Style
Stewart is best known for his electrifying pace and his ability to both score and create tries. His try-scoring rate of 80% is the best in the NRL for players with 50+ games experience. Even more impressive is his strike-rate at the Sea Eagles homeground, Brookvale Oval, where he has scored an astonishing 66 tries from only 69 appearances (96% S.R.), hence his nickname "The Prince of Brookvale". Complimenting this is his ability to perform one-on-one tackles and save tries (statistically he is the most effective one-on-one tackling fullback in the league). Stewart also possesses an enviable array of passes, demonstrating this through no-look passes, flick passes and even a "tunnle ball-esque" pass to create a try in the Eagles preliminary final win over the New Zealand Warriors in 2008.

“What does headquarters think these guys came over here for, a sewing circle? They go up playing for keeps. Cops and robbers with rocks in the snowballs. Brass knuckles and lead pipes and a roughneck conviction they can lick any man in the world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“One man’s style must not be the rule of another’s.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
