Only looking at 2013, manly played 28 games. Stewart missed 9 games, and went off injured in another 2, so he only played a full game in 17/28' or 60%.
And they came within fair referees call of taking it all home with them for the 9th premiership,then Hayne stepped up and the game was swept away
Until Gutherson is ready we need Brett Stewart to put in his few games a year to keep us as perennial title contenders,truth be told since he came good in 07 we've been at the top of the table,in 07/08 Stewart was fit,in 09/10 he had consecutive season ending knee injuries,in 11/12/13 we're back to the top 4 with him getting niggling injuries and overcoming them to take his place on the field from time to time
07 Runners up,Brett Stewart got knocked out by a leading elbow in the GF which sealed our fate
08 Record winners,Brett Stewart dodged his fate from the previous year,another attempted dog shot did occur though
09 5th,out in straight set due to lack of top level players on the field due to death,No Stewart
10 Lol Hodkinson,8th and also out in straight set,No Stewart
11 Winners,The Snake slithers back
12 Prelim,The Snake is there and abouts
13 Runners up,The Snakes game improves to compensate for his slower speed
14 Guess whos back?
Funny facts that also go with this
08 was the end of the jersey
11 was the end of the run of the best jersey of this era
14 is again the end of the run for this pathetic jersey,2nd worst jersey this NRL license has had (Behind NE jersey,eww)
Co-inkidink? or fate
