Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Kruise Leeming is well known for the physical and tough way he plays rugby league.<\/b><\/p>\n

Having made a name for himself at the Leeds Rhinos following a period at the Huddersfield Giants, the hooker has gone from strength-to-strength.<\/p>\n

On the back of a stellar 2021 Super League season, Leeming made the Super League Dream Team, but it hasn\u2019t been a straightforward life for the Eswatini-born maverick.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have a son, the amount of time and investment he put into me and the love I felt was overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me to be his first born, a boy, we had so much in common and he had such a massive impact on the way I am today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have learnt so much, from 0-8, I\u2019ve looked into psychology and my mum is a teacher, so we both know that from 0-8 kids learn a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a massive challenge \u2013 my mum was pregnant with my sister so we went from having two parents and one child to one parent and two kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeming revealed that his mum had stern words with him when he used his dad\u2019s passing as an excuse to be naughty in school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was playing up as a kid and my mum said \u2018don\u2019t you dare use your dad as an excuse to be bad,\u2019 she wasn\u2019t having any of it and it was the best thing she ever did for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used the bad experience as my dad passing away, the things I learnt and the way my mum brought me up after that with no excuses has shaped me to be who I am today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can almost say now that anything that happens to me now won\u2019t be as bad as that.\u201d<\/p>\n
