NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg is confident the competition will survive.
On Monday, the NRL made the decision to suspend competition given the impact of the coronavirus.
The move has left the game in an unstable position with many clubs claiming the financial struggle of the next few months may be too hard to recover from.
Greenberg spoke to Radio Sport's Jason Pine and assured the governing body does have emergency funds for rainy day and they hope to have some form of competition start up again later in the year.
He also said there is an onus on individual clubs to work through the situation on their own, as they still operate as individual businesses, but the NRL was there to help them work through that and put systems in place to ensure the loss of revenue does not continue for too long.
