Simon Mannering is a professional rugby league player who currently captains the NZ Warriors in the National Rugby League. 

Mannering and his team mates were in Dunedin for the Kiwi's match against England in early November.

A group of our sporting enthusiasts met Mannering and his team mates Jesse Bromwich and Thomas Leuluai.  The players spoke to Otago schools' sports leaders about sport's leadership, motivation and new methods of coaching and leadership.
