The NRL community has come together to proudly launch The Daniel Anderson Support Fund to help raise much-needed funds for the former Eels and Warriors NRL coach.
An organising committee, which includes the chief executives from the Eels, Roosters, Warriors and St Helens along with Family of League deputy chair Bradley Clyde and other representatives, will promote further events including a lunch on July 7.
Close to six months on from when the injury occurred, Anderson said he was “overwhelmed” by the support from all parts of the rugby league community.“I’ve been involved in rugby league for a long time... I can’t thank the game enough, it’s as simple as that. It’s going to help me get better again and extract everything I can.
He made his head coaching debut at the Warriors in 2001, taking the New Zealand club to the most successful period in their history with a maiden grand final berth in 2002, before departing for St Helens where he would taste further success with a Super League Premiership and World Club Challenge win at the Saints.
