Told yers! I refer to the comments by the famous rugby league coach Chris Anderson this week. Tell 'em what you said Chris: "Our biggest danger is rugby union … It's a big world sport. It's taken over Europe. Rugby league has died in Europe. All good players now go to union; in England, in France. So it's a big game. It's growing in America. That's our danger. If we don't get our house in order, our danger is we'll be playing rugby union in 10 years."
