Stewart looking for Catalans deal

Such a beautiful picture becomes so heartbreaking in light of what he has become.
I thought at the time of the court case that he was being wrongly advised to hang on to resentment. Yes, a dreadful thing happened to him and was exacerbated by the media and NRL. That degree of extreme public (and wrong) judgement would, unimaginably, damage a person.
It did seem to me though, that he was encouraged in his resentment: not talking to the media, the ongoing feud with Gallop.
Of course this was justified but I think smarter guidance would have encouraged him to move forward and not fester.
I think he became bitter and I've noticed in life that once a person becomes bitter, there is rarely a return.
Maybe @Rex could comment.
I mourn the loss of the Brett of this picture.

The whole rape case saga was disillusoning BE. I had an illusion that most people would not prejudge. That they would give Brett a fair go. That's what us Aussies do, right? That only a small minority, mindless yobbos, would jump to conclusions. That people generally would be too smart and emotionally balanced to be blindly led. I was wrong. 100% wrong.

I can't imagine how a young man copes with what Brett faced. Being presumably advised by lawyers to say nothing. Having no voice. And very few willing to back him in the face of the onslaught.

I'm not inside his head, so don't know. But the indicators do suggest you've got it right BE.
 
Talk of Stewart hanging the boots up, I think, is primarily so he will, like Lyon, leave on his own terms at a time when his body no longer can handle to pressures of such a gladiatorial sport, which leaves so many with life long physical ailments.

I certainly would like to see Brett leave while on top, not as a seriously broken star. He has been through issues that few of us have had to experience physically and emotionally in his life, which would no doubt have seriously damaged his feeling of self worth and left understandably a bitter taste.

But for his own sake he needs to make the common sense decision, which in the long run will see him remain as the much loved champion that he has been. I certainly dont want his name to continue to be dragged through the mud with all sorts of innuendos, as well as the bane of ongoing criticism regarding his on field efforts. And unfortunately as long as he continues to play as a seemingly broken footballer, unfair rumours will continue to flourish.

Unless he is able to get something of his former playing ability back into action, I think he would be wise to call it a day, and go out the loved champion that he is.

I reckon Lyon was tapped - he wanted to play on but I think the powers that be showed him game footage from this year and said hang it up buddy - you can make it sound like it was your call but you won't be getting a new deal...

If so why haven't they tapped Stewart, his form is far far worse than Jamies!!
 
He signed Luke Burgess and then gave snake a one year extension

Hopefully bozo doesn't let kelly do any more signings/retention in the future
 
If Stewart put some effort in & can stay on the field he could go a couple of years no worries. Just aint putting in at the moment. Not interested. Just coasting along doing as little as possible. Injured maybe.. Shame his pride doesn't get injured as often.

The issue was that he knew it was time, otherwise he would have protested.
 
Lyon mentioned that Barrett asked him to play on for one more year and Jamie said no. He was not tapped.
 
Fox's site say's his Super league deal is three years. I wouldn't feel sorry for him, he's gotten what he wants.
 
I'm surprised he was dropped but obviously all is not well in the manly camp.
He probably needs to take time off to get his sheite together & make a decision if he wants to remain & put in or ship out somewhere else.

The way things are going Tom would probably be just as good as Snake at FB.

Tis a shame the way our team has imploded.
