You'd think this is the crucial contract decision for Woodward in terms of the bulk of his career.
He's just turned 24 and a decision to stay in Australia should mean that he's pushing for Wallaby selection in a year or two. If he returns to NZ, he'll have ended his chances of qualifying for the Wallabies and will instead be chasing All Black selection. You'd think that if he does go back to NZ, he won't ever play in Australia again.
So... does he want to spend most of his 20s living in Melbourne or Wellington? Unless he's incredibly homesick or something, you'd think the answer to that question is fairly easy.
