Lion approaching 50000 members 2024 a terrific result.

Broncos approaching 60000 members is a shocking performance for 's team in RL heartland.
( who until recently had no other RL club to compete with in a city of over 2 million )

Just goes to prove that RL is not the all conquering universally loved sport that we are lead to believe.

agree a member should be full time and paid up member where they are able to vote at meetings for the club

all the rest has been bent forged to make a club look bigger than it actually is.
all privileges should just be counted as Revenue for the club
(1 game members) 3 game members pet members baby members

list goes on.. (lets just say AFL started all of this first) NRL is just playing catch up

I think the clubs claim all these memberships - but when the AFL do an audit they have strict guidelines as to what counts - therefore no pet memberships I believe are counted. Wookie would know as he has posted on this before.

does a birth certificate have to be provided ?

Good point. What I was referring to was that certain clubs actually sell “pet memberships” so they aren’t apparently counted. Same with some other categories too possibly.
