Triple M NRL's Emma Lawrence has spoken about the horrific injury, brother Chris, sustained while on a pre-season training camp in New Zealand with the Wests Tigers.

According to Emma, Benji Marshall and Chris' fellow teammates were in tears having never seen anything like that on the footy field before.
