Tolman underwent COVID-19 test and the result was negative so  the match postponed till Monday will now go on ahead.

“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, 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.” Said Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill.

As a precaution all the Bulldogs players and staff inside their nominated 50-person roster have been tested.
