Is Luca injured?

  I'd assume so

    Luca has been named in the cup team. He was injured, unsure for how long. Assume they want him to get some kms in his legs and he will get more time playing cup trail this week.

      We have so much forward depth at this point, no real rush for the big fella. Get fit

      Maybe but why not name him in both? Unless not allowed to. But more likely he gets 30 odd mins in the trial considering starters get most of the game but get rested into the 2nd half.
      
      Was that link to Knights true?

So Russell ahead of Kelly at this stage?!?!?
- ParraEels > Axel February 17, 2026 at 4:26pm
  
  Isn't Kelly under recovery?
  
  Also Russell has been playing pretty damn well and probably should get 1st crack
