The NRL clash between the Roosters and Bulldogs on Sunday has been postponed due to a COVID-19 scare for Canterbury prop Aiden Tolman.

Tolman has a child at Laguna Street Public School in Caringbah, in Sydney's south, which has had a COVID-19 scare due to a staff member testing positive.

Tolman and the entire Bulldogs squad will now be tested and the match pushed back 24 hours as the Bulldogs await the results of the tests.

If there are no positive tests for coronavirus, the match will go ahead as planned on Monday.

The NRL has brought forward the game initially slated for 6pm on Sunday - between the Dragons and Sharks - to 4pm.
