www.qrl.com.auHere’s the latest available on Heilum Luki based on recent reporting:
- Injury updates from late 2024 indicated Luki suffered an ACL injury that was expected to sideline him for the 2025 season. This was widely reported during Cowboys pre-season preparations.[1][3]
- By early 2025, multiple outlets and fan forums referenced the ACL injury and discussed expected return timelines, with some posts noting ongoing recovery and squad adjustments as the Cowboys prepared for the season.[2][1]
- As of 2026, there have been continued mentions of Luki in various updates, including profiles and retrospective pieces about his impact and career progression, with some sources highlighting his return to field activity.[4][8]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current official club or league statements and summarize any new injury news or return dates with direct quotes. I can also provide a quick timeline of his major injuries and comebacks. Would you like me to do that?
