I don’t get players not wanting to live in Nz. It’s a beautiful country and I’d sooner live over there than in Townsville, Canberra, Newcastle, parra, wherever the tigers are based, probably Melbourne, Canterbury etc.The simple fact is Warriors have proven from day 1 that it's next to impossible to keep good Aussie players at the club because no one wants to live in NZ and the club has to do way more travel then everyone else plus the time differences.
I think a Perth club will have the same issues, but that won't have the benefits of having as many players who originate from where the club is.
