Stuart’s machine

League: Ricky Stuart has his Green Machine humming as they get set for a test of their NRL premiership bona fides over the next fortnight. Canberra can notch up a morale-boosting milestone when they shoot for their fifth consecutive win against struggling South Sydney at ANZ Stadium today. In the four previous occasions Stuart’s sides have won five or more straight, they have made the first Sunday in October three times. They will face ladder leaders Cronulla and Melbourne in the next two weeks.
