In the same meeting,the two organisations decided they will trial a new"Captain's Challenge"system at the All Stars as well as the Charity Shield game between the Rabbitohs and the Dragons on February 29.
Under the new rule,the captain will be the only player allowed to challenge a decision. Sides will be permitted one unsuccessful challenge per game and will nominate a second player to take on the responsibility if the captain leaves the field.
The only decisions that can be challenged are ones which involve a structured restart of play such as a penalty,scrum or drop-out and will not be permitted where the referee allows play to proceed.
After the trial,the NRL and Commission will again meet to decide whether it will be taken into the 2020 season.
In December,ARLC boss Peter V’landys met with a number of leading Indigenous players,including Joel Thompson and Mitchell,to gauge their thoughts on whether the anthem should be scrapped.
Last year,the majority of the Indigenous side did not sing the anthem during the clash.
