<p class="first">National Rugby League (NRL) club Manly is considering imposing a ban on alcohol at future functions, as police continue to investigate star full-back Brett Stewart over an alleged sexual assault.</p><p>Stewart, 24, is accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl on his way home after a night of drinking at the club's season launch party on Friday.</p><p>He denies the allegation but has so far declined to be interviewed by police.</p><p>The Sea Eagles' chief executive, Grant Mayer, says a recommendation about a new alcohol policy will be put to the board.</p><p>"Well obviously there's been a lot of talk about alcohol, and players consuming alcohol at club functions," he said.</p><p>"We've been quite clear in our stance that we think it's almost impossible to enforce a total alcohol ban across the players 24/7.</p><p>"But we believe that the proposal we're putting forward to the board is a halfway house that says to the players you cannot drink at official club functions."</p>
