Knee scare for LeCras

The West Coast Eagles will be hoping that a knee injury picked up by star forward Mark LeCras at training is not serious.
The 25-year-old is expected to undergo scans on Thursday afternoon after twisting his right knee earlier in the day at Patersons Stadium.
According to observers, LeCras' knee buckled underneath him while trying to evade a tackle from team-mate Callum Papertalk.
He limped to the boundary line and was able to walk from the field after some treatment.
LeCras missed the first half of the 2008 season with a serious groin injury, but has no history of serious knee problems.
Named in West Coast's NAB Cup squad to take on Fremantle and Essendon at Patersons Stadium on Sunday, LeCras had set himself to win a spot in the Eagles' midfield after completing a solid pre-season.
