Manly has won its first game of the 2016 NRL Telstra Premiership with a gutsy 22‑12 win over the Sharks last night.

Brett Stewart scored a try and had a huge influence on the result.

The 10‑point loss was Sharks 33rd defeat from 39 matches at the venue, easily their worst record at any ground in the NRL.

Meanwhile, the Rabbitohs will take on the Bulldogs at 5pm Friday.
