I feel for Leuluai as he's a player i have a ton of respect for and i can understand Wigan fans being upset at his loss which looks like it could be season ending. However the ones calling for the game to now be scrapped because of this and hinting at compensation and saying the game was meaningless, remember the anger shown by Wigan fans when Goulding and McIlorum didn't get picked to play in this 'meaningless' match. Even though he'll be in the NRL next year you can bet if you asked Leuluai if he wants the Exiles game to continue on he'd say 100% yes.
There was no "anger" about Goulding and McIlorum's omissions, just comment on McBananas England selection policy.
And as to Tommy saying "yes" to the exiles game continuing I doubt he cares one way or the other. On the other hand If you asked him that with hindsight he would prefer to have played in this game but as a result perhaps miss out on further club honours with Wigan you know the answer.
Players are like everyone else "It won't happen to me" is the attitude and what players want to do does't always coincide with their interests of their employer, their club. In that regard given we have lost TL there is no way Finch should be allowed near the next game whether he wants to play or not.
