I reckon it has a lot to do with Super League ties. For example, I'm a Rhinos fan and I started following Brsibane when Toni Carroll joined them, then I saw how good Lockyer is and carried on supporting them coz of him!
I've spoke to other Rhinos fans about this and a lot follow the Eels coz they have the same colours and a lot follow the Cowboys coz Graham Murray coached there recently and he is a bit of a legend in Leeds after coaching us to Challenge Cup victory.
It also helps that (as much as I hate to admit it) the NRL is the best RL in the world, hence the State of Origin's large following over here.
