"We've had a really good registration period," Potter said. "We're up on teams for both boys and girls, which we're a bit excited about. With all the dramas in the off-season, it hasn't had any effect with our numbers.
"We really focus on the fun and friends side of rugby league. We have a lot of kids enjoying league at the moment, they are able to get outside and play rugby league in a safe, fun environment and are making friends along the way."
