Two points here...
Yes, of course the Wahs swell the crowd as they do for any club when playing they are playing well.
Secondly the Phins have a core attending fan base of around 20k which is definitely at the higher end in the NRL. Broncos would have a core attending fan base of around 30k. Form and opponent determines how big each crowd gets from there.
So no, not entirely the pull of the Warriors, but it certainly helps
this is another strong argument for a second NZ team ASAP. I would escalate it to urgent.
