A rejuvenated Jamil Idris says he has nothing to prove to anyone but himself as he prepares to return to the NRL.The former NSW and Australian representative was granted a release from the final year of his contract in 2016 and hasnt played an NRL game since April 2015, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury.Now at Wests Tigers, his fourth NRL club, Idris 26, has experienced an eventful journey since making his debut for the Bulldogs in 2008, just over a month after his 18th birthday.Among the highs were playing for NSW in 2010 and Australia in 2011, while the lows included being stood down by Penrith for an alcohol-related incident in 2014 when he was also believed to be suffering depression.People are always going to say I have to prove myself but I dont have to prove myself to anyone but myself, Idris said on Monday.The centres weight and fitness have been topics of discussion in the past but he is placing a big emphasis on the latter.To get to my peak fitness, thats going to be a massive goal, he said.I want to be able in the 75th minute to be playing at my best.He hasnt given up on returning to the representative arena.I think thats something that will come if I do hit my peak and if I do play to the best of my ability, he said.He spent much of this time off travelling but kept in touch with the game and is ready for the challenge of adjusting to any lift in standard since he last played.I watched it a bit on TV every now and then. In India, I watched the Origin on YouTube, Idris said.Im excited. Its going to be a bit of a challenge but whats this life without challenges?His teammates dont believe theres any risk in signing Idris.What Jamal did was be honest with himself and he needed a break from the game from the game, said Tigers prop and Idriss former Penrith teammate Tim Grant.A lot of people would just be comfortable and not be happy and cop their pay cheque.I havent seen Jamal this happy for a long time.Trent Dilfer Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament.

The second-ranked Norwegian made her season debut after missing the LPGA Tours opening event last month in the Bahamas because of a shoulder injury.CHICAGO -- John Lackeys right shoulder was still sore when he arrived at Wrigley Field. Trevor Cahill then proved the Chicago Cubs have options if they need another starting pitcher.Cahill came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in nearly 16 months, and the Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-0 Tuesday in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.He gave us something to talk about, manager Joe Maddon said.Lackey is nursing an injury that forced him to leave Sundays start and will be pushed back until at least Saturday.Mike Montgomery followed Cahill and pitched two innings, Hector Rondon worked the eighth and Joe Smith walked two in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman got two outs to close a three-hitter.Cahill (2-3) also drove in a run with a safety squeeze bunt, and the Cubs added runs on a wild pitch and Addison Russells sacrifice fly off Matt Garza (4-5).Cahill allowed two walks and struck out Manny Pina with a runner on third to end the fifth on his 84th pitch.He had really good stuff, Maddon said.Chicagos Jason Hammel (12-5) was to face fellow right-hander Chase Anderson (7-10) in the second game.Cahill was a 2010 All-Star before consecutive 200-inning seasons with Oakland. But the right-hander struggled in Arizona, started three games for Atlanta in April last year, moved to the bullpen and was released before signing with Chicago.He was a reliever until going on the disabled list with right knee tendinitis. But Cahill was stretched out in a rehab assignment and had good command in his first big league appearance since July 9.Cahill was activated as the 26th player for the doubleheader, so the Cubs will have to decide on a roster move for him Wednesday.Who knows? Im just here, Cahill said. Whatever they need me to do, Ill do it. . Every time I speculate it always seems like it comes out completely different. I felt a lot better today.Unlike the previous two games, the Chicago bullpen held the lead.After Smiths troubles, Chapman hit 103 mph and struck out one as he earned his fifth save with the Cubs, who ended a two-game skid.Garza allowed a ruun in a 28-pitch first inning and his run-scoring wild pitch in the third made it 2-0.dddddddddddd Cahill successfully bunted a 3-2 pitch in the fourth, and first baseman Chris Carters flip home wasnt in time to get a sliding Chris Coghlan.Garza allowed five hits and threw 103 pitches in five innings for the Brewers, who have lost six of nine, Tyler Cravy, Milwaukees 26th player, threw two scoreless innings.They did a good job of grinding out at-bats, Garza said. They fouled off a lot pitches. Granted, I didnt have the best command today.Coghlan hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Damien Magnifico, who made his major league debut.Maddon said Lackey didnt undergo an MRI, but said there was no clarity regarding his status for his next start.The fact that (Cahill) pitched as well as he did and hes stretched out as he is, it opens up possibilities, Maddon said.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Struggling RHP Michael Blazek went on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain. He was really just fatigued, manager Craig Counsell said. But because of the scheduling situation and because hes had some elbow soreness this season, we thought it was best to be safe. Magnifico was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs.Cubs: RHP Pedro Strop (knee surgery) was off crutches. Hes expected to miss at least a month.NO BRAUNBrewers slugger Ryan Braun, who homered twice and drove in six runs Sunday, wasnt in the game one lineup. He flied out as a pinch hitter in the eighth.PAPBELBON?Maddon said he hasnt been involved in and discussions about signing former Nationals closer Jonathan Pabelbon, who was released Saturday by Washington.Im not saying it cant happen, Maddon said, but for right now there is nothing happening.LONG DAYMaddon called day-night doubleheaders awful. Its even worse in Wrigley Fields cramped visiting clubhouse.Were on top of each other, thats for sure, Counsell said.UP NEXTCubs RHP Jon Lester (12-4, 2.93) faces RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-12, 4.07) on Wednesday night.
