NRL game postponed after scare
Green. ‘‘Their kicking created those repeat sets that took a toll on the Cowboys. They were able to build pressure and that led to them scoring tries.’’

Canterbury prop Aiden Tolman was cleared of Covid-19 after his health scare resulted in the NRL postponing his club’s match against Sydney Roosters.
The league was forced to move yesterday afternoon’s fixture to tonight after Tolman was notified that a teacher at his child’s school tested positive for coronavirus.
The Laguna Street Public School in Sydney’s south has been closed until June 25, with a warning there’s a possibility children may have brought the virus home.
The NRL was not willing to risk having a positive test returned just hours before kick-off, which would’ve thrown the schedule into chaos. grubbers led to two of centre Peta Hiku’s three tries.
Endacott said it was a noteworthy win, but Warriors fans would get ‘‘a better gauge of them after the next two games’’.
‘‘South Sydney and Melbourne will be tougher and will give us more of an idea [of the Warriors’ progress].
‘‘ They’re a bit up and down, but that’s the rollercoaster we’ve had for 25 years.’’
But, as well as mentioning Nikorima, Green and TuivasaSheck, Endacott said rookie second
The Bulldogs-Roosters game has been rescheduled to 7pm tonight, while yesterday’s rower Eliesa Katoa had enormous potential through his running and offloading game. ‘‘He’s a good signing for the future.’’
Experienced forward Tohu Harris had also underlined his value as ‘‘a reliable player. He doesn’t make many mistakes, and has done a really good job.’’
Harris led the Warriors’ tackle count for the third successive week, with 42 (and no missed tackles) and was second in the most metres category (197m), behind only Tuivasa-Sheck (216m).
‘‘He actually decided to play football and asked questions of the Cowboys defence.’’

St George Illawarra v Cronulla match at Campbelltown was brought forward to start at 4pm, instead of 6pm.
‘‘We believe the risk is minimal but we’re not going to take the risk,’’ ARL Commission chair Peter V’landys told AAP prior to Tolman’s test.
‘‘The message is we’re not taking any risk with our players, or the community.
‘‘Even though the risk is very low, the risk is not worth taking.
‘‘We’ve shifted the match to tomorrow night to 7pm, and taken the St George Illawarra-Cronulla match to 4pm this afternoon.’’
All Bulldogs players and staff inside their 50-person bubble have been tested as a precaution.
The match is the first to be affected by the virus since the NRL’s resumption last month.
