New Bunker protocols will see just one Bunker review official ruling on referrals for the rest of the season.
The NRL has relieved its cohort of former players from Bunker duties in a bid to"simplify" decision-making and reduce officiating errors on the eve of the 2020 finals.
Those Bunker officials will be drawn from the existing NRL referees squad, with the likes of ex-first graders Bryan Norrie, Beau Scott, Ben Lowe and Ben Galea no longer required on game day. "Earlier this year the change from two on-field referees to one has simplified officiating, resulting in a high standard being maintained so far this season," Annesley said."Referees have demonstrated increased confidence to make their own decisions."
