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.

And the comp ain't meningless at all for NZ. There will be 40 odd extra players that will be able to train and play as pro footballers for 6 months. Remembering we only really have around 70-90 existing pro players (incl Academy kids) in NZ and overseas. It's a very shallow talent pool.
