- Biography:
Leuluai-Going made his NRL debut for the Warriors in Round 27, 2023. He previously spent time in the Canberra Raiders system and played for Tweed in the Queensland Cup before returning to his hometown of Whangārei in northern New Zealand, where he switched to rugby union.
After four years away from rugby league while working on his uncle’s farm, his interest in returning to the game was reignited through training alongside Brady and Rob Rush, sons of New Zealand sevens great Eric Rush.
He went on to captain the Warriors’ NSW Cup side to a title and State Championship double, and was named NSW Cup Player of the Year in 2025. His strong form earned him a return to the NRL with the Panthers in Round 1, and he has since added to his first-grade appearances.
