I believe that is correct from an NRL point of view. However they are quite liberal in terms of interpretation for some clubs eg Broncos count Suncorp Stadium Members in their figures - including Roar and Reds supporters as for Souths...Is that true @The Wheel that only ticketed memberships count in the numbers ??
I feel a bit guilty about downgrading if so from an interstate to a standard.
It easy mentioned at last Council meeting that NRL are actually refining the rule soon however if past history suggests anything it won’t disadvantage the favored few.
PS we should tread carefully when memberships tally’s in the media as they often are figures provided by the clubs etc not from NRL. Anyway whichever way you look at it we are definitely towards the bottom of the pile.
PS2 it is not always about pure numbers, the clubs are a business and need revenue to survive and thrive so revenue per member is a big driver
Now is the time to get behind the team and club. Get on board and join up if u haven’t already!!
