The NRL Hall of Famer said having every team play each other once would be the fairest system the game's had since it was a full home-and-away season.

That was way back in 2001 with the return of South Sydney the following season ending the days of every team playing each other twice.

The NRL has announced May 28 as the date they wish to resume the competition - although that's yet to get the all clear from the NSW government - after the coronavirus postponed it two rounds in.

Every team will be given four weeks of full training together to prepare for the restart, with the Raiders potentially remaining in Canberra to train and then flying to Sydney on game day to play.

The NRL have already rejected a two-conference proposal, but are reportedly also considering playing out their original fixture in its entirety - which would take the competition through until the end of November.

But Stuart felt the 15-round option was simply the best.

"The important point is to have a competition that has a high value of integrity and without over complicating the new competition - we've already had two games - I feel as though if we play another 13 games where everyone plays everyone once there's no asterisk beside the grand final winner," he said.

"It's the fairest competition since years ago when we used to play one another twice, I think it's the highest degree of integrity in regards to a competition you could have with the disruption that's happened this season."

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said he's yet to be consulted about the NRL's proposed return, while Australia's deputy chief medical officer Paul Kelly said they would need government approval.

The ACT government are yet to decide whether the Raiders would be allowed to return to full-contact training for the full four weeks required before May 28.

In the meantime, Stuart said it was up to the players to adhere to all the regulations and keep themselves fit and safe.

"That'll be all directions from above to us. We just stay in the required isolation now and adhere to all the public measures that we need to as a member of society," Stuart said.

"We just go about those behaviours and just wait for any other type of direction we get from the club or the NRL."

Stuart was happy with how his players have kept themselves in shape since the lockdown, where they've been forced to train at home or alone in parks.

They've kept their weight in check and have been doing everything asked of them.

It has them ready to hit the ground running if the season resumes on May 28.

"I've been very satisfied with the way the squad has handled this adversity and isolation," Stuart said.

"They've been training in their isolation period and we've handed out a number of pieces of equipment and weights that the players can use.

"We've had bodyweight checks and physical tests so we're happy with the way the players are handling this period.

"It's not just footballers, it's everybody having to handle it, and the way you come out of this on top is how you handle it mentally.

"Training and being healthy is a really important factor."
