Emerging fullback Chevy Stewart has backed his "second dad" Ricky Stuart to nurture the next generation of Canberra Raiders stars.
Two more games in the top-flight followed before regular Raiders fullback Jordan Rapana returned from a knee injury and Stewart returned to reserve grade.
The accolade comes 12 months after Raiders teammate Ethan Strange claimed the award, the youngster going on to become a regular first-grade player this season and set to feature in his 15th NRL game when his side faces the Wests Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
