NRL clubs average about 12500 members each for a total of a bit over 200,000. Average attendance at games 16,423.
AFL clubs average about 40000 members each for a total of a bit over 700,000 (3.5 times the number of NRL). Average attendance at games 31,509 (a bit under double that of the NRL).
Incidentally GWS Giants (lowest in the AFL) have more members than the following NRL sides: Raiders, Sharks, Titans, Sea Eagles, Cowboys and Roosters.
Collingwood, Hawthorn, West Coast and GWS Giants combined have more members than the whole of the NRL.
