Without seeing a break down of type of membership it is pretty hard to judge. Don't get me wrong all memberships are important connections and fan engagement but I suspect some clubs are heavily weighted with non ticketed or 2-3 game ticketed memberships hence why we see big differences in memberships to crowds. Cant blame fans for this given the game KO time schedule and the fact you only need to miss a couple of games to not make a full membership worthwhile financially.

Could Bundeena sustain an NRL side? That would be great as it could join Sharks and Manly in a 3 way challenge, within the season proper, for battle of the beaches. This would soon create a rivalry and boost crowds.
I'd like a Cairns team and a Port Douglas team before Perf.Playing against each other for the Cassowary Cup.
We'd have the East Coast covered from the tip to the bottom.
cairns is rabbitohs territory!
