Dual premiership-winning coach Chris Anderson fears rugby league may be dead in 10 years if the NRL doesnt get its house in order.Anderson is pleading with selfish club bosses to end their war with ARL Commission chairman John Grant for the greater good of the game - or face catastrophic consequences.But while he is seriously concerned about the threat from AFL and soccer, those two rival football codes arent Andersons biggest worry.Our biggest danger is rugby union, the former Canterbury, Melbourne, Cronulla, Sydney Roosters and Kangaroos coach told AAP.Not as in it taking it over, but a Murdoch or a Packer coming in and saying rugby union in Australia needs grassroots competition. They (the ARU) havent got enough money to make it happen.Weve got the best grassroots competition in Australia so if Murdoch came in and said to every player were going to double your wages and youre going to play rugby union next year.Its a big world sport. Its taken over Europe. Rugby leagues died in Europe. All good players now go to union; in England, in France.So its a big game. Its growing in America. Thats our danger. If we dont get our house in order, our danger is well be playing rugby union in 10 years.Anderson can understand NRL club bosses for being upset at having their promised funding from 2018 cut.But hes still siding with Grant and the commission, who instead want to invest in grassroots rugby league to address declining player numbers.Theres more than just NRL. The clubs dont see that. They just see themselves, Anderson said.Clubs are a little bit selfish. I think the structures not right. The structure needs to be that the clubs cant run head office. Head office has to run the clubs.You cant throw a ton of money at the clubs and not put it into development.And we need to change the way that weve treated country rugby league. The demographics have changed there.If we dont change those things, rugby league will die. AFL are genius in grassroots (development). They throw a lot of money at grassroots.If we dont do that, theyll hurt us.As well as rugby union, Anderson worries about the continuing surge of AFL and football on the back of the Socceroos three straight World Cup appearances.All our kids played soccer til they were eight or nine and then came to rugby league. Now theyve got a reason to stay in soccer.Ben Banogu Youth Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week.
