We could have had the 3rd best bid of all the teams and still missed out. The biggest problem is the format limiting it to 2 NZ teams when there are 3 clearly deserving of a spot.
South Melbourne being there instead is a travesty. The league won't have cut through in Australia and SMFC are a terrible choice if you want to get Australia interested since they're such a widely disliked club.
