Thrice daily flights to Bali
This seems to stand out if we're comparing... what does Hams have?
If you think flying shitstar with a bunch of bogans to Bali is a positive then I guess you might like it.
I tend not to judge a city as being attractive to live, by how easily I can escape it to somewhere else.
I live in London, that's the main reason for being here. Never been to Bali, I do like me some bogan though.

London isn't quite analogous. In about the same time it takes to get from Perth to Bali you can fly as far as Morrocco or Turkey.
If the opportunity was available to a young player who wanted to play SR, neither Hamilton not Perth would be high on my list. And I know something about residing in a less than desirable location purely for employment.

I live in Perth and love it so far, and yes, it's far easier traveling the world from there than where I previously was in Christchurch. Beautiful city and the stadiums are nice and close to me.

When extending his contract, Nic White complimented the force and his family praised the outdoor lifestyle. It's got appeal beyond scuba, albalone and crays, wreck diving, and traditional watersports too, big for kitesurfing etc.

Caught Tepaea Cook-Savage at the Waikato Women's game just now. He's signed for the Chiefs next year.

In the article about Jacomb they also mention that DMac has a sabbatical clause for 2028. While that's still a few years away it should make the choice of the third 1st 5 more important as the Chiefs either need to sign someone now to develop, or identify who will replace Jacomb from 2027. The fact that the Chiefs wanted to retain Jacomb must mean Trask is definitely going back to Japan.
