NZ NBL rejecting Australian imports
When you live close to the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, the "wine thing" may not be what you are looking for. We were in Napier on 2 week days and knowing the place was renowned for its wineries, we looked for them and found none open during the week. I had a fantastic week in the North Island travelling between Auckland and Wellington, but would not spend 3 months in any of the places I visited. New Zealand is a great holiday destination but I would limit it to holiday. I didn't say I found a holiday financially unrewarding, I would hot have missed that holiday for the world, I am just pointing out that I can justify anyone finding Napier boring if you had to spend 3 months there.

Isaac, don't put words in my mouth. I made no mention of any player in particular but since you are asking, I visited Napier last July and as beautiful a place it is, after 2 days I was ready to leave. The place was dead. After 6pm, you were lucky to spot 2 people walking down the street, found 2 restaurants open in the whole town and nowhere for any kind of entertainment apart from the grand final.

They are just pissed off because Australians refuse to go back after one season. They find the place boring, freezing cold and financially unrewarding. NZ haven't chosen to reject Australians, Australians have rejected the offer to go back.
