Manly Sea Eagles trip report

Last week we travelled to Royal Far West in Manly. When we arrived we were greeted by Dee who works for the manly Sea Eagles and she had a bag of goodies for each of us. Wednesday morning we were taken to Narrabeen where the Manly Sea Eagles were training. We went for a swim In the indoor pool before watching the players train for their big game on Friday night. After this we met Jorge Taufua, Manaia Rudolph, Tua Transvaal Tualima, Josh Starling and Jesse Sene-Lefao whilst we played Tenpin Bowling. When we arrived back at our accommodation we were also lucky enough to meet Steve Matai and Kieran Foran who joined us in a game of footy. Later that night we had a talk about healthy food followed by a trip to Coles to purchase a healthy snack each. Thursday morning we headed to Taronga Zoo with Tua and Manaia, we seen plenty of amazing animals throughout our walk around the zoo. Following the trip to the Zoo we went to the movies and watched How To Train Your Dragon 2 this was exciting as we were joined by Matt, Tua, Jesse and Manaia. That night we were treated to a meal of Hungi. This was a beautiful meal, it consisted of chicken, pork, potato, pumkin, sweet potato and topped with a seasoning. After dinner we had a visit by Don Singe (the head trainer for Manly) who gave us a talk about leadership and looking after our bodies. On Friday morning we headed to Manly Beach for a surfing lesson. This was a fantastic experience all of the boys were able to surf. We went back to Royal Far West and had a game of tips and footy with Matt and Manaia before hitting the showers and getting ready for the big game. When we arrived at Parramatta Stadium we seen the end of the under 20's game. Before the game started we were able to get a wave from Jesse, Manaia and Jorge. Both Manaia and Tua joined us in watching the manly Sea Eagles play. Saturday morning we were up bright and early ready for our trip back home.
