Glory not keen to travel to NZ and give NZ a 2nd home game (May 30th). To Rudan's credit he's acknowledging Nix & their fans, deserve to host WU 22nd May.
With Nix also scheduled to play WSW in Sydney May 26th, that 2nd NZ home game possibility, does look unlikely.

The Food Show is scheduled to take place at Sky Stadium from May 28 to 30, so if the Perth game was to be played in New Zealand on May 30, it would likely have to be hosted at Eden Park in Auckland.

So Glory are defaulting then? Are we allowed to not want to go to Perth for 12am NZ kick offs?
I can understand Perth's reasoning if they were worried an outbreak while in NZ would lead to their players being in another lockdown for 14 days, but I can't see how it's any more risky than interstate games in AU? Any risks they have about that, the Phoenix also have returning to AU.
It sounds more like they think it's bad for their season if they have to do a long trip when playing too many games in short succession. Phoenix have played (including the game to be played on Sunday) 3 games in 7 days at least twice that I can remember already this year, including this week which will be NSW to Perth to Tasmania to NSW, so I don't have much sympathy.
