But for Gabrielle Suckling it's always been rugby league.
While most of her family are into Aussie rules - like her cousin and two-time AFL premiership winner Matthew Suckling - her father was the league sheep of the family.
But she's also got a relative in the NRL camp.
Her brother-in-law Mitchell Aubusson was part of the Sydney Roosters' 2013 premiership.
It's not surprising that she's made the NSW Country team, alongside some of the women's game's biggest names like Ruan Sims and Kezie Apps.
Suckling will be part of Matt Parish's national championships squad that will play on the Gold Coast at the end of May.
She's got the chance to press her claims for a State of Origin jersey, higher honours and even a spot in the NRLW.
The 23-year-old shone for the Riverina Bulls when they won the country championships a month ago.
She can play anywhere in the backs - fullback, the halves, the centres or the wing.

"It was a bit of a shock, but it's very exciting and I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait to play with some of the girls in the team, it's going to be very good," Suckling said.
"They're some of the benchmarks for girls out there so playing alongside them will be a fantastic experience. I'll learn so much.
"There's so many pathways now that those [higher] opportunities are there for all of us, but the main focus is just going to be this team and hopefully getting a couple of games up in Queensland."
She pesters Aubusson whenever she gets the chance and travels to watch him play for the Roosters in the NRL.
"I've come up on league, just watched it as far back as I can remember. I started off playing touch and Oztag when I was younger and that led to rugby league," Suckling said.
"I have a brother-in-law that plays for the Roosters, Mitch Aubusson.
"But it's always been league, I haven't taken much interest in AFL.
"I come from a pretty big family, but my dad is probably the only one in his immediate family that follows rugby league. The rest of them are AFL."
The Wagga Wagga native knows the Sturt and Hume highways like the back of her hand.
She's spent the past three years travelling to play for the Yass Magpies in the Katrina Fanning Shield.
They normally play on a Friday night, but they have a double header with the Canberra Raiders Cup teams at Seiffert Oval on Saturday.
It's a move that helps make them feel a bigger part of the club.
She was looking forward to taking on the Blues, with both teams undefeated after the opening round - although the Magpies have a few players out.
"It's a few k's, but there's nothing near Wagga so that's the closest to us to go over there," Suckling said.
"We used to play on Friday nights, but this season we'll be getting a few games in with the other grades, which is good to get more involved with the club.
"It should be a good game, but I think we're missing a few."
Meanwhile, Woden Valley's Kristian Nordin-Skipnes will represent Norway in their World Cup qualifier against Greece in London next Saturday.
