Manly have named star fullback Brett Stewart for Friday night’s NRL sudden death finals clash with Cronulla at Allianz Stadium.

However, the Sea Eagles admitted Stewart still faced a fitness test on a troublesome hamstring strain before receiving the green light.

Last week’s replacement at No.1 Peta Hiku is on standby.

Richie Fa’aoso has been named on a seven man bench despite leaving the field with a horror head knock in last weekend’s bruising finals loss to Sydney Roosters.
