Canberras NRL title quest has received a boost with five-eighth Blake Austin set to return from a broken hand next week.Austin on Tuesday resumed running with the side just over two weeks after fracturing two fingers and having two plates surgically implanted following a training mishap in which he was manhandled by Paul Vaughan.The sight of Austin running and passing with the side set off rumours he was set to be a surprise inclusion for Saturdays qualifying final against Cronulla.And while Austin said he wanted to turn out at Canberra Stadium for week one of the finals, he was told by his surgeon to cool his heels.Instead Austin told AAP he was confident of being back for his sides next clash, which will either be next week or in a fortnight, depending on their result against the Sharks.I was twisting (the surgeons) arm about returning this week, Austin said at the Fox Sports launch of the NRL finals on Thursday.I was backing myself to play this week but it wasnt the smart thing to do.Ill just have to sit back and watch and whether its next week or the week after, Id be confident that I could play.Austin was full of praise for his fill-in Sam Williams, who didnt miss a beat in Sundays 52-10 smashing of the Wests Tigers.Stuck behind Austin and Aidan Sezer in the Raiders pecking order, Williams has spent most of the season in reserve grade.Williams is off contract at the end of this year and Austin said rival clubs would be foolish not to try to sign him.Hes starting half quality and hes in a spot where hes spent most of the season in premier league, Austin said.Im sure hed compliment a lot of teams. Whether he sticks around at the Raiders or moves on, I think clubs would be silly not to have a look at him.Austin revealed he was injured trying to take on 110kg prop Vaughan in a wrestling drill, only to be tossed around like a rag doll.We were wrestling on the mats and I came in to tackle big Paul Vaughan and he threw me off pretty easily and a few of the boys giggled, Austin said.As Im falling, I put my hand out, I got my fingers caught in the wrong spot.

MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. Aaron Nola was expected to anchor the Philadelphia Phillies rotation this year, his first full season in the major leagues.Lately, however, Nola has come undone.He is 0-3 with a 15.23 ERA in his last four starts, pitching no more than 3 2/3 innings in any of them, and manager Pete Mackanin said Saturdays outing against the Kansas City Royals is very important for the confidence of the 23-year-old right-hander.Four (bad) starts in a row is not something we want to see, Mackanin said of Nola, the clubs first-round pick (seventh overall) in 2014. Its a matter of him getting back to where he was.More than anything else, Nola (5-7, 4.45 ERA) will be looking to improve his location when he opposes Royals left-hander Danny Duffy (3-1, 3.24).The more I think about it, and the more I look at the video, all his good starts, the ball was down at the knees, Mackanin said. All his bad starts, the balls elevated. Hes not keeping the ball down in the zone.Pitching coach Bob McClure has discussed that with Nola since his last start, a no-decision Sunday in San Francisco in which he allowed five runs and 10 hits over 3 1/3 innings. While Nola has done his usual bullpen work this week, he did not play catch, as is customary. The hope, Mackanin said, is that backing off just kind of cleared his mind a little bit.Nola, an LSU product, sped through the Phillies minor league chain. He made his major league debut on July 21, 2015, and finished last season 6-2 with a 3.59 ERA. He also logged 10 quality starts among his first 12 outings this season, giving Mackanin reason for optimism.Ill go out on a limb and say hes going to be special, Mackanin said in early June. I see no reason why he cant be an outstanding pitcher down the road. Hes pretty good right now.Duffy, meannwhile, made 16 appearances out of the bullpen before joining the Kansas City rotation in mid-May.dddddddddddd Saturdays start will be his 10th of the season. He matched his career high of eight innings in a 6-2 victory over St. Louis on Monday.The only runs he allowed came on Matt Hollidays two-run homer in the first inning.I didnt really feel a need to settle down after that, Duffy told mlb.com. I thought I made a good pitch. Hes just so strong. You just tip your cap in that situation.Duffy wound up surrendering six hits while striking out eight. He didnt walk a batter.Its nice to go eight innings, he said, according to MLB.com. Any time you can save the bullpen its a good thing. Very gratifying.Duffy, who has never faced Philadelphia, finished June with 45 strikeouts in 36 innings -- the most by a Royals pitcher in a calendar month since Zack Greinke had 49 in August 2009.He will face a resurgent Philadelphia lineup. The Phillies hit .326 and scored 57 runs while going 5-4 on a road trip that wrapped up Wednesday, then had 12 hits in Fridays 4-3 victory. Cameron Rupp, who has hit safely in seven straight games, had three of them, while Odubel Herrera, Maikel Franco and Cesar Hernandez had two apiece.Peter Bourjos also singled to extend his hitting streak to 10 for Philadelphia, which has won four straight.Kansas Citys Alcides Escobar extended his hitting streak to 12 games, matching his career long, with a double Friday, and Kendrys Morales added a two-run homer. Morales, who batted at a .403 clip in June, has hit safely in seven straight games. He did, however, see his string of multi-hit games snapped at six. ' ' '
