His father, James, and his brother, Thomas, have both represented New Zealand and he is part of a wider Leuluai family that includes Phillip and Kyle.[citation needed]
Playing career
[edit]Born in Wakefield while his father was playing for Wakefield Trinity, Leuluai was a Newcastle Knights junior before joining Leigh Centurions as an 18-year-old in 2009.[3] As he was born in Wakefield, Leuluai does not require a work permit to play in England and does not count on the overseas quota.[citation needed]
