There are plenty of reasons to write off North Melbourne but coach Brad Scott isnt counting his side out of playing an influential role in September.At times, the Kangaroos were all at sea in Saturdays loss to Hawthorn, conceding the first 46 points of the game and failing to kick a goal in the final term.The loss was their seventh-straight against top-eight opposition, the only sides that count at the end of the season.Two more await in the final two rounds - the high-flying Swans and Greater Western Sydney.Scott could be without veteran Brent Harvey for one of those weeks after the 429-game veteran caught Sam Mitchell high with a swinging arm in the 39-point defeat.There are even downsides in a bevvy of players set to prove their AFL fitness in the coming weeks.Scott is refusing to be downcast by the negatives, instead painting their remaining games as a chance to rebound.Theres some things to look forward to in terms of personnel and opportunities, he said.It helps that the Kangaroos have made preliminary finals in the last two seasons.Probably in all but one or two years in the last five or six weve been scrambling at this point of the season, he said.On the back of a good start ... from round seven we started losing blokes each week.Theres still a real unflinching belief that our best can compete with the best. Once you get to September, who knows?The Kangaroos coach said Sam Wright, Luke McDonald, Ben Jacobs, Shaun Higgins, Kayne Turner and Jarrad Waite would all be likely to show theirBen Brown and Scott Thompson, omissions from Saturdays game, are also likely to contend for the match against Sydney in Hobart, though not guaranteed by Scott.Whether theyre right to go next week or the next couple of weeks, we;ll have to take a close look, he said.Its tough but well still have a good look at the balance of whether theyre ready (and) whether we need to take a calcuated risk with some of them.

Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed.The Hamilton Tiger-Cats say an independent arbitrator has ruled that speedy receiver Chris Williams deal with the CFL club is binding. Williams, the CFLs top special-teams player last season, had gone to arbitration asking to be released from the final year of his contract with the Ticats reportedly so he could pursue NFL offers. "We are pleased that the independent arbitrator has reached this logical and obvious conclusion," Kent Austin, Hamiltons head coach and general manager, said in a statement. "As we have stated all along, and the arbitration result validated, Chris has a legal and binding contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. "Were eager to put this matter behind us and continue our preparations for the 2013 season." Austin is expected to discuss the Williams situation in more detail Wednesday. It remains unclear whether Williams will report to Hamilton or sit out the season, then pursue an NFL deal in 2014. "Chris has received the arbitrators decision," Williams agent, Dan Vertlieb, told TSN on Tuesday. "We are now in the process of discussing his options and deciding on the best course of action for Chris and his family." Williams is reportedly scheduled to earn a base salary of between $50,000 and $60,000 this season with Hamilton. The NFLs minimum stipend for 2013 is US$405,000, with players on the practice squad making about $90,000 annually. Williams had a club-record 17 TDs last season, including a CFL-record six on kick returns. As a result of the arbitrators ruling, the Ticats said they will not be subject to any penalties or fines. Williams had reefused to attend Hamiltons mini-camp earlier this off-season and was a no-show when the Ticats opened training camp Sunday, resulting in the club placing him on its suspended list.dddddddddddd Williams was reportedly contending he wasnt made fully aware of the conditions pertaining to his contract when he signed it prior to the 2011 season and that an unregistered agent negotiated the deal for him. Williams was also to have claimed Hamilton didnt offer him the one-year plus an option deal but rather just the two-year plus an option contract. As a result, Williams sought to have the contract made invalid. The five-foot-eight, 175-pound Williams signed with Hamilton in October 2010 and spent time on the practice roster before re-signing with the CFL club in May 2011. The 25-year-old native of Fort Worth, Tex., wasted little time making his mark in the league. Williams was named the CFLs top rookie in 2011 after registering 70 receptions for 1,064 yards and six TDs. He also had 12 kickoff returns for 252 yards and a touchdown while returning 12 punts for 81 yards. Williams was even better last season, with 83 catches for 1,298 yards and 11 TDs. He also led the CFL in punt returns with 78 for 1,117 yards and five touchdowns while adding five missed
