Scott's lawyer Sam Macedone wants the serious charges of allegedly assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest dismissed and was hoping for an answer from NSW Police either this week or next.

The Raiders centre is facing seven charges from a drunken night out on Australia Day.

He was found asleep in parklands near the NRL headquarters in Moore Park and the alleged incident occurred after he was woken up.

His hearing has been set down for July 14-15, but Macedone said delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic could mean that won't happen until November.

Macedone has been in negotiations with police over his client's charges and has always maintained he would fight the most serious of those.

If they're dropped, then Scott will plead guilty to the less serious ones of behaving offensively in public and trespass.

The NRL viewed the CCTV and police body-camera footage of the incident and decided the matter wasn't serious enough to warrant Scott being stood down until his case was finalised.

He returned to training with his Raiders teammates last week and took part in their first session as a full squad and with contact on Monday.

The 22-year-old should have a police response before the NRL season resumes on May 28.

"Offers have been made by both sides. There's an offer that I made to them that's on the table and I'm just waiting for a reply," Macedone told The Canberra Times on Monday.

"If the answer's no we go to a hearing, if the answer's yes we might be able to resolve it.

"My offer's the last one on the table and it's really up to them to say yes or no.

"I reckon I'll be in a position to know exactly what's going on in this matter by the end of this week, no later than the end of next week."

If not, it could drag on until the end of the year.

Like most things, the COVID-19 virus has delayed court proceedings.

Scott's case is next due on June 10 ahead of the original hearing date in July.

If the hearing proceeds, then it might be delayed four months.

"We probably won't get a hearing date until October-November. We'll have to see what happens there," Macedone said.

If it does go to a hearing then all the footage will become public.

Macedone felt the police needed to decide if they were comfortable with that happening.

He's confident it would clear his client of the more serious charges.

"I've always maintained the position, as I did when the matter was set down for hearing, that the police charges - the resist arrest and assault police matters - needed to be withdrawn otherwise I'd be defending those vigorously," Macedone said.

"But that I would enter a guilty plea to the offensive conduct charges.

"They're deciding whether to go to a hearing and face what I consider to be the consequences of that, in as much as everyone gets to know exactly what happened.

"And if they don't want that to happen then they really need to withdraw them and come to terms with me as to how that's done."
