Round 5 Late Mail: Tolman tests negative, but quarantined

All the Late Mail team news ahead of this week's NRL matches.

Here's is all the Late Mail for all remaining matches in round five.

Bulldogs v Roosters, Sunday 7pm at Bankwest Stadium

Bulldogs: Aiden Tolman has been cleared on his COVID- 19 test but will undergo a period of quarantine of up to 14 days and therefore will not train with the team or be available for selection during that period. As a result, Sauaso Sue moves into the starting side at prop. Reimis Smith, who was suspended on Tuesday, is the other player missing from the squad that was initially named.

Dallin Watene Zelezniak shifted from the wing to Smith's centre spot. Ofahiki Ogden and Morgan Harper have been elevated to the interchange with Jack Cogger omitted from the reserves.

Roosters: Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is out due to a minor back complaint, with Lindsay Collins replacing him in the starting pack. Lachlan Lam and Sam Verrills have been omitted from the squad with Mitch Aubusson to make his return via the interchange bench.

Victor Radley was cleared of a serious elbow injury and will play. Roosters winger Daniel Tupou has scored nine tries in his past 10 games against the Bulldogs.
