2011 Player Profile: Brian Lake

what if you have goddard in the mids?  :)

He needs to be shaking off these injuries which dragged him down late in the year. He is of an age, and has taken sufficient battering that one has to watch him closely. He is a great player thou.

So many valuable posessions in the back half for the doggies. Has to be a starter for anyone without Hodge or Goddard in their backs.

"Eade said he was hopeful that Cooney, Callan Ward, Ryan Hargrave, all of whom have been in a rehabilitation group, would be running again over the next three weeks. All-Australian full-back Brian Lake, however, won't resume running until mid-January after a knee injury carried through the finals series, and hip surgery three weeks ago.

"He carried a knee for the last four weeks, and it was a bit worse than we thought at the time," Eade said of Lake."

Upgrade target, but you don't want to start him on the ground.

Wasn't really looking at starting with him and that may have made sure that I don't start with him.

Is lighter!

This article worries me. I'm not sure if he'll have a full season injury free ever again.

i agree ossie.  he has had surgery on his knee, shoulder and hip.  too much for me IMO.
