Game delayed to Monday 7PM

The NRL has postponed Sunday's Canterbury versus Sydney Roosters game at Bankwest Stadium until Monday due to ensure player safety in relation to a potential biosecurity problem.

One of Bulldogs forward Aiden Tolman's children attends a school in the Sutherland Shire where a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19.

The primary school has closed until June 25 and students have been told to self-isolate.

Sunday's later game between St George Illawarra and Cronulla at Campbelltown Stadium - originally scheduled for 6.30pm - has been brought forward to the 4.05pm timeslot.

The Bulldogs-Roosters game will now be played at 7pm on Monday at Bankwest Stadium.

Canterbury have issued a statement to say the Tolman family were informed of this situation on Saturday and NSW Health had advised all families from the school to undertake self isolation.

Tolman and all other players and staff in the club's 50-person bubble will also be tested.

Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill said the decision to postpone the game was the right one.
"Once we found out about Aiden’s situation we immediately informed the NRL and have been working with them overnight which ultimately led to the decision to postpone the game until tomorrow," he said.
"This is an unprecedented situation, but we will make sure that we take all the necessary precautions required and get everyone within our bubble tested and cleared over the next 24 hours."

Australian Rugby League chairman Peter V’landys said the Commission approved changes to the schedule to ensure the health and safety of the players and the community.

The NRL consulted its biosecurity expert who said the chance of the player being infected and passing it onto his teammates was highly unlikely.

V’landys said while the risk the virus had spread to the Bulldogs playing group was remote the Commission wanted absolute certainty before allowing the team to play.
"There’s a very remote risk of infection within the Bulldogs squad. To ensure there is no risk at all, the player will be tested today and the game delayed until tomorrow to ensure the test results have returned," he said.
"I want to congratulate the Bulldogs for swiftly informing the NRL. I want to thank our broadcast partners for their assistance, at very short notice, in changing the schedule. The changes will ensure our fans will still be able to watch a game on free to air television this afternoon."

NRL officials have been thrilled with the co-operation of the broadcasters and the four clubs involved in helping facilitate the late change to the schedule.

The Roosters now have a tight turnaround with their round-six clash on Saturday night against first-placed Parramatta at Bankwest Stadium. Canterbury play at the same venue on Sunday night in round six, against Cronulla.

RLPA chief executive Clint Newton praised the quick action taken by all parties.
"The NRL and everyone involved acted swiftly and have taken the necessary precautions to adhere to the high standards we have established," Newton said.
"We commend these actions and it demonstrates the level of care not only for our members and club staff, but the wider community.
"We will offer our support to both clubs as this process is worked through."

Bulldogs forward Aiden Tolman has been ruled out of Monday’s delayed clash with back-to-back premiers the Sydney Roosters.
The Canterbury-Bankstown prop is currently in isolation in a Sydney hotel room after a positive COVID-19 test at the Laguna Street primary school attended by his children.

Despite returning a negative test for COVID-19 on Sunday, the Bulldogs and the NRL will make the health and safety of players paramount meaning Tolman will will not play against the Roosters.

Bulldogs chief executive Andrew Hill told Fox Sports Tolman could be quarantined from the rest of the Canterbury-Bankstown playing roster for up to 14 days.

“We need to wait for further advice from NSW Health and the NRL,” Hill said.

Bulldogs emerging forward Dean Britt, the son of club legend Darren, is expected to be added to the Canterbury-Bankstown 17.

Not sure how that works as Britt was apparently ruled out earlier this week with aminor ankle injury. Much more likely that Ogden would start.
