Sea Eagles: Stewart confident of return

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."
