@Perth Red said it was 10k. Participation rates across the country have dropped since then.Don't compare Perth's participation rate / rugby league community size today with what was achieved in the peak of the Reds in 1997.
Compare today's participation rate with the early 90s before a commitment to expansion was implemented in 92.
The growth rate that was achieved from when the ARL committed to a team in 92 to 97 was outstanding and shows what is possible.
