Mannah-Brow replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Nrl 360 says eels should target trell.
"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
