When the new Labour laws come in once we have left the EU for good, the signing of has been's and never Aussies and Kiwis will be a thing of the past. Certain clubs better start taking junior development seriously and qucik.

Stewart isn't a has-been though. He was a stand-out player for Catalan in SL last season, he played origin and for Australia 2 seasons ago. And, at 32, he's not exactly over the hill.

As a newly promoted team, we need experience to compete. Stewart is a great signing for us. There's a fair few other SL teams he'd get into too

When there was 'licensing' SL clubs were given the chance you sign/young English/Welsh talent, and guess what, but they didn't, and instead 'chased trophies' and signed experienced/old antipodeans.

Sorry my mistake

It doesn't change the fact that he's performed at SL level this season, he's very experienced and still has plenty to offer. All talk of him being a has been or past it is nonsense
