Curtis Scott's legal team has written to the NRL and informed the governing body it will have access to the police video taken during his arrest on the Australia Day weekend they think could spare the Canberra Raiders centre from being stood down.

The NRL had set a deadline of 5pm on Monday to have access to the video footage and was prepared to rely on the police charge sheet and decide if Scott would be subjected to its no-fault stand-down rule.

Police had refused to permit the body-worn video to be made available to the NRL, but after receiving their own legal advice on Monday it emerged they were now prepared to share the vision with League Central.

Sources said police were content for NRL officials to view the footage at the Surry Hills Police Station as long as the video did not leave the building.
