My recount of training with the Chiefs

At the end of Term 1 Mrs Leaf had us write a letter to the Chiefs.  I wrote about my life, my goals and my potential as a rugby league player.  Mrs Leaf sent our letters to the Chiefs and they rang her to ask if they could meet me during the holidays.

On the day of meeting them I was their water boy during their training.  Aaron Cruden introduced himself to me and asked if I would like to kick the ball to each other back and forth.  Of course I said yes.  I got a picture with him and an invitation into the Chiefs gym.  I really enjoyed the tour.

I felt very happy and priviledged to kick around with Aaron Cruden and helping at training.  Sonny Bill Williams told me I should go back.  One day I hope to go back as a Chiefs player.
