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.

“If, during his daily walk, he met any children flying kites, playing marbles, or whirling peg tops, he would buy the toys from them and exhort them not to gamble or indulge in vain sport.”

“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
