Because maybe he sees a bigger picture, unlike the union traitors and those desperate to get famous like Big Brother contestants by going down to Aus. Maybe he sees that if players like him stay in this competition the higher quality this competition will be, the more sponsors this competition may attract, the higher the salary cap could become, and therefore the better this competition becomes further...

Also this is a fantastic country we live in. Why trade that for hot sweaty weather, snakes and spiders that can kill you, box jellyfish ready and waiting in the sea and bush fires?

I wish people in RL in this country would start to want a better domestic competition rather than shipping off our best talent to those Brits in the Sun trying to be Americans to enjoy, while our competition flounders by the year.
