Traded him in this week. I wonder if I can reverse since he is apparently no longer a defender according to Scott. Looks lost on the wing too.

Wondering if Max Holmes going to half back has had a real impact on Stewart’s scoring with him now playing more wing.

Strange to me as Stewart is such an elite defender

Honestly doesn't make sense. Stewart started in the backline and was playing well, then moved to wing towards the end of the first qrt. But Holmes (who I would have thought is way more suited to the wing role), is playing deep back. Seriously have to wonder what Scott is doing..

Not normal for him to have 4 clangers. He would be 60+ on a normal night with his kicking.

Yeah, he seems fine to me. Just his execution. Averaging 90 DT this season with 2 tons, 57 DT at HT. 4 clangers (equal game high) and 53% DE. Also only has 2 contested possessions and 1 tackle which might be standard for a HB, but he usually does pretty well in those areas.

Stewart was getting tagged by on of the Port small forwards and the niggle was getting to him (culminating in that 50m penalty). Scott moved him to the wing to disrupt that, he's found his way back plenty of times but that's why they did it.

Not expecting a big one from Ryan but covered his price rise before the bye.

Just one player I don't enjoy a round without.

Yeah, I had seen that. Wasn't worthy of a 50, but you would think he would back Stewart in still. Instead he did Port a favour and put him where he won't have any influence. And the same port player is still on him. Just a strange move, but I'm sure Scott has a reason.

Don't disagree, especially going that early. Let him try to beat in on it's merits and then pull the trigger if needed, but I'm sure there were other reasons.
