Just on Sky sports. Today's Roosters and Dogs game has been posponed as Dogs prop Aiden Toleman is suspected of having the coronavirus. Toleman is being tested after having secondary contact with a recent coronavirus positive person. It is unlikely that he has the virus but the match today will be postponed until Monday 6.30 pm as a precaution.
The underlying story in this is that the Roosters will now have a very short turn around to play the eels (5 days) as their scheduling will be very disrupted.
“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. I want to congratulate the Bulldogs for swiftly informing the NRL,’’ Vlandy's said.

Effing Corona virus BS again.
A squillionty billion people can roam the streets in mock protest but if ONE NRL player coughs we shut it all down for 24 hours - Effing joke.
IF Tolman tests positive then any player who has played against him in the past two matches MUST be quarantined for 14 days and comp cancelled - AGAIN.
That is the normal repsonse for anyone else.
MORONS!
OH FFS Slugg - where have you left your PANIC button?
This is world ending stuff right here and you want to risk the entire nation?
Denmark just culled their entire MINK farms pups for having Corona virus, you do know the experts did tell us animals can't contract this virus, don't you?
Now you are getting the idea.
Being Sunday you are alowed a day off. lol
This also means that the Roosters will have a shorter turnaround for Saturday night because of the reschedule.
That would be fair
Yeah, I think that's a good idea, Frankie. Five days is not a fair turnaround for the Roosters, imo.
Plus make it the Game of the round or whatever they call it.
However 5 days is not such a short period and allows for recovery imo.
Why should the Rorters get special dispensation when plenty of other teams have 5 day turn around throughout the season?
Last year we had teams playing on Sunday then backing up on Friday night - where's the difference here?
Not to mention manly had a 5day turnaround from playing us to to broncos
If we beat the Roosters though Frankie, would that be a valid excuse for them ?
Just sayin ...
Frankie you are losing the plot old son.
Know in advance or given 24 hours notice makes no difference at all.
They are either professional or not professional and should be prepared for these contingencies - next you will be bytching about playing extra minutes in Golden Point without prior notice.
What about playing two or more games on the same day in the nines?
