How many try saving tackles has he made this season? His defence has always been strong, but this season he's been amazing.

I know he's got problems with his knees and seems to limp off after most games, but if he feels fit enough, he must be worth another contract.

It's whether he wants one or not.

Aye. Hope he does, but wouldn't want him doing more damage to his knees by playing on

From the photos of the after-match presentations at the Barrow game, I would say that Stuart got Ian's MOM in that game -mine too!

where are these photos alan ?

I thought he said this was his last season but you never know

top full back.great tackle when he got saxton on his back over the try line after a length of the field chase.ushered him to try and take him on the outside and nailed him,just one of some super full back play from stuart this season.

If his body will let him he wants to go on for another 2 seasons. It's just a case of weather his knees and back can hold up!

Taken by the official photographer for the Club/sponsors. I get to use some for the programme, but I only use action shots.

Jamie Ellis got the MoM award for the Barrow game but he didn't stay for the presentations, and Stu recieved it for him then promptly put it in the players kitty

Donlan has been excellent. Certainly seems in better shape than last year when he really was struggling. If he packs it in what a top career he's had. Let's hope we can win him some silverware before he retires.

I often see Stu out and about around Leyth, and to see him walk around sometimes you wouldn't think he's capable of the things he produces on the field! However he seems to keep going and going!

Its better to let a player leave a year early than to risk keeping them 2 years too late. For recent examples see: Sean Long
