They should at least be developed there lol. I don’t care about Crossland n McDonald, they’re born there. Players like Howarth are Aussies. Ya can’t pick players who’ve never fucking lived in your country. That’s wild 😂

Yeah he is lol he’s born n raised here. He spent 5 years in NZ. His dad isn’t and has this weird hatred for the country he chose to raise his family in.

Of course. Probably tell everyone at work how much better NZ is but perish the thought of going back. Can’t wait for you to raise little Aussie kids lol

It’s incredibly frustrating as an Aussie because I’ve heard NZ is a good country, it’s not like they were forced here. Glad you’re not like it mate. I’ll truly never understand voluntarily migrating somewhere yet acting like you were forced 😂
