The establishment of a video referees bunker next season would enable the NRL to introduce a captain's challenge, announce judiciary charges at full-time, reduce interchanges and enhance the value of the broadcast rights, as well as helping match officials to make decisions faster and more accurately.

After an 11-match trial over the past three rounds, NRL head of football Todd Greenberg is ready to recommend the league make a multi-million investment in a video referees bunker similar to those used by all major US sporting codes.

Fairfax Media was invited to sit in NRL's central command centre at ANZ Stadium on Monday night as Luke Patten and Bernard Sutton used five screens to check and review the calls as they were being made in the Sydney Roosters-Melbourne clash at Allianz Stadium, and can confirm that the system will lead to significantly quicker decision making.

While referee Jared Maxwell did not seek a review of any of the Roosters' four tries, data from Sunday's Warriors-Knights match shows that it took the officials in the bunker an average of 20.3 seconds to rule on the six tries referred compared with an average of 58.5 seconds taken by the video referee at Mt Smart Stadium.
