Veteran Leeds prop Kylie Leuluai is hoping Sunday morning's grand final against Wigan provides him with a sixth Super League title and the perfect end to his playing career.

The Auckland-born 37-year-old is set to sign off on a career that's seen him become the Rhinos most successful overseas player, since joining Leeds from Manly in 2007.

He holds a claim to being New Zealand's most successful league export, having won five Super League titles, and the Challenge Cup, League Leaders' Shield and World Club Challenge twice each.

"I'm just grateful that I've got the opportunity to play at Old Trafford again," Leuluai told sportinglife.com.

"I've had so many memorable moments at this field but getting the win this weekend is easier said than done.

"We're coming up against tough opposition in Wigan who are well drilled and well coached. I'm just enjoying the moment and the build up to my last game.

"I've been very blessed in my career, especially here at Leeds. Win or lose this weekend, I'll still be satisfied with what I've done."

The Rhinos are also bidding farewell to former Great Britain and England international pair Jamie Peacock and Kevin Sinfield, who will join Leuluai in making their final appearance for the club.

"I couldn't think of a better way to finish than with those two," he said.

"We've had some great times over the nine years I've been at the club.

"I think I'd feel a bit lonely if I was bowing out by myself. Going out with the company of those two has definitely made it much easier."
