A resilient Manly sealed their first away win over St George Illawarra in a decade on Monday night, but NSW could potentially be the real losers from the Kogarah Oval NRL match with injuries to Origin candidates Brett Stewart and Brett Morris.

Incumbent NSW fullback Stewart failed to come out for the second half after sustaining a hip injury on the final play of the first period.

Morris' problem is potentially more serious with the winger to undergo scans on Tuesday to determine the extent of the damage to his left knee.

The Test and Blues star went down clutching the side of his knee after being tackled into touch by David Williams and was immediately led from the field with Dragons officials remaining tight-lipped about the severity of the problem.

Manly laid the foundations for their victory with three tries in the opening 20 minutes scored by Jamie Lyon, Williams and Matt Ballin.

The Dragons were the masters of their own downfall with some sloppy play in possession early in the game, but dominated for long spells after a maiden try on the stroke of halftime from Nathan Green.

The hosts came charging out of the blocks after halftime with Green scoring his second try before Michael Weyman returned from his injury lay-off in style by powering over from close range.

A Chase Stanley four-pointer levelled the scores in the 64th minute but Jamie Soward missed the chance to take the lead with a horrible conversion attempt that sailed wide to the right of the posts.

Manly took full advantage of that reprieve and with one of their few forays into Dragons territory, Taufua, who was put on report for a shoulder charge on Jason Nightingale, finished brilliantly to steal the points in a game where they had only 40 per cent of possession.
