I still do not understand why people do not want to live in Auckland. Seriously I do not get it, lovely place.

What am I missing?

I actually don’t see this 17 being the team Stacey rolls out v Sharks. He’s got to make his imprint on the team otherwise he’s just rolling over and getting fkd from behind. If he wants this team into next year he needs a minimum 50% win rate - so at least 5 or 6 wins. Can see Volkam coming onto the bench to play a small 10/15 min impact role. Arthur’s has been named on extended bench last couple weeks and think he’ll start. Aitken is a dead men walking and Curren to start instead for him. And Pene needs to get off that Keto diet and start smashing the carbs. A lean 100kgs is shit when he needs to be rocking an athletic 120kegs

Are there demons?

Hobbits?

Someone explain to me how Auckland is undesirable?

I do not get it, I just don't.

If you’re earning anywhere north of $300k then you’ll certainly do nicely living in Aucks. Those Eastern beach suburbs or North Shore beach’s are all good. A 3yr deal at the right price would be all good. And a team in the situation the Warriors are in will definitely be paying overs for the right type of player. And I’m sure Munster and The Cheese would find the coke just as good here in NZ as in Vic or the Eastern beaches

Cold and wet.
Won't get looked at for Origin.
No potential post match career in media.
There is a reason more Kiwis move to Aussie than the other way around.

It's really, really shit. All the pitfalls of a big city (shit traffic, expensive accommodation, crime etc.) and none of the perks (things to do). I would genuinely rather live in Huddersfield than Auckland. New Zealand does have good cities (Wellington, Christchurch), but Auckland is not one of them. [This is coming from someone who grew up in Rotorua/Hamilton, so I've had my fair share of shit places]

Ok, there you are. I live in Brisbane, this is because my daughter loves the place. It matters not for my job, could live in Timbuktu

I'm not an Aucklander but this is plain B/S.

Haven't lived in Huddersfield but visited it twice, that was enough.
