Biography
Stuart was a mercurial halfback who helped turn the Canberra Raiders into a premiership force.
After making the switch from rugby union, Stuart helped the Raiders to titles in 1989-90 and 1994 with his torpedo passes and pinpoint kicking game proving a nightmare for his opponents.
He was also an influential player at representative level. He played 9 Tests for Australia (1990, 94), including a memorable moment in the second Test in 1990 where he threw the match-winning pass for Mal Meninga.
He also played 14 games for NSW (1990-94) and was part of the first NSW Blues team which won three consecutive series from 1992-94.
