OFC deciding to have a hub in Aussie has nothing to do with the Nix. Zero.
I don't get your point at all.
If OFC have decided to take a hub to Melbourne, again it's likely for commercial reasons. Whether you agree or not that Australia should have a team in the league, I understand that.
But once that decision was made then taking a hub there sort of makes sense given it's by far the biggest economy in the comp, and everyone knows the large financial challenges this league faces starting up.
I suspect commercial/large company sponsorship revenue for this league is going to far outway in importance the gate takings from crowds. Also be interesting to see what sort of TV/streaming rights deal is signed up.
