Blake B is missing the game he loves, but he's also missing a lot more than that.
"I do I feel like it's a bit harsh being isolated," Blake said.
"Only cause I love footy. But I also miss my mates. I have so many friends at the club."
To keep fit and healthy, Blake has been going a little airborne and working out with family members.
"I've been playing outside a lot," Blake said.
"I've been running and also jumping on the new trampoline.
"Mum's also been doing workouts and I join her."
This scoring machine can't wait to dive across that try-line in 2020.
"The thing I miss most about the game is scoring lots of tries," Blake said.
"I also miss training. I'm also excited for the games and seeing my friends."
The Highlands Storm are going to have some very quick players as a lot of their youngsters look up to this great athlete.
"I look up to Usain Bolt," Blake said.
"I want to become the fastest in something."
