It's all about the sheer number of users. With a country so small in users, it's extremely hard to compete on the world stage. Teams like the US will only start out with like 10 or 12 players on their NT and wait during the year to see who develops or what is needed for specific skills. We don't have that luxury because there only a certain number of Kiwis who have any shot at making the NT. I know that going into the season, and I know there won't be any surprises during it.
It makes scouting Kiwi players very simple every year, but I wish it were harder if we had more users and more players to choose from
