Just a suggestion and a completely unqualified one on my part, maybe it is easier career wise to sign up young NZ players to go and play in Australia?
We know womens football and particularly the W-League and a skint team like the Nix does not pay well, a lot of those in the NWL might have families/day jobs/etc., so perhaps it is easier for the young players in the 17-20 range to go off on an adventure for a few months?
