I wonder where his parents & siblings are?
I've never heard mention of him visiting any family in NZ, unlike say Reid now & again.
Reid setup an academy in NZ, Smith in East Anglia.
Flipping across the Tasman, for 'AusKiwis' like Moss & Smeltz would be dead easy in comparison to uprooting from the UK/US to NZ. Esp if you have a young family, plus UK business interests.
Just don't see the Nix/NZ as an option for him, unless he was dead out of other club options, at comparable pay.
Anyway all moot if he stays in Colorado.
