Sydney Roosters finally have a cornerstone win for their NRL season - a 22-10 defeat of premiers North Queensland that coach Trent Robinson says is vital for their 2017 campaign.And its a loss that has put a top-four finish for the Cowboys in grave doubt.Led upfront by Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Boyd Cordner on Sunday at Allianz Stadium, halves Mitchell Pearce and Connor Watson steered the Roosters to their fifth victory of the year.In the process, the Roosters handed the struggling Cowboys their third successive defeat just a month out from the finals.It was our best performance of the year so far, Robinson said.There was a lot of arm-wrestle footy. We went to-to-toe with them and we just havent been able to do enough this year.Three-time successive minor premiers, the Roosters will miss the finals for the first time under Robinson.We have struggled to play our best, but they should be proud of how they played today, he said.I have had a lot of questions about next year but it is about now. That was a really good lesson in footy, how you put a game together. The next year is laid on by what we do now.The Cowboys opened the scoring through Ethan Lowe in the eighth minute, but from there the Roosters were the better side for much of the contest.Ryan Matterson put the home side ahead through a converted try in the 28th minute.Two more first-half tries to Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Cordner had the Roosters in front 16-4 at the break, but only after a Blake Ferguson try was controversially disallowed by the bunker.A 40m angled run from Latrell Mitchell with 30 minutes left put the Roosters further ahead, and they had to hold a late Cowboys fightback to claim the four-tries-to-two win.Kane Linnetts 64th-minute touchdown was the Cowboys only second-half try.If Canberra beat Melbourne in the final game of round 23 on Monday, the Cowboys will be two wins outside the top four with three rounds to play.They played well. They deserved it. They wanted it more than us, Cowboys coach Paul Green said.We were a little bit flat and they had a bit more energy than us. They definitely defended better than us and carried the ball better than us.It was a similar story last week.We just have to get a bit of confidence back and scrap and fight for a win.Green said rake Jake Granville (hand) is still at least two weeks away from playing.Prop Ben Hannant is also due back from knee surgery in two weeks.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Jerry Sandusky listened quietly during Day 2 of his three-day appeals hearing Monday, as his lawyers continued to argue for a new trial or for the reversal of his 2012 child sex abuse conviction.On the first day of the hearing, when Sandusky testified, his lawyers focused on what they claimed was ineffective counsel. On Monday, at the Centre County Courthouse, Sandusky attorney Al Lindsay specifically argued that a grand jury leak and the conflicting statements of Victim 2 did not give his client a fair trial.Victim 2 and one other victim did not testify during the 2012 trial, while eight others did. The prosecution did not call him as a witness because they believed he wasnt fully credible. Retired Cpl. Joseph Leiter testified Monday that, shortly before Sandusky was arrested, the man known as Victim 2 denied that Sandusky abused him.I hope we tried to make this clear, Lindsay said near the steps of the courthouse. All of these witnesses that testified against Sandusky had significant credibility problems.Sandusky offered no testimony Monday. He instead sat silently in a red jumpsuit, with his family looking on in the front row. He iss currently serving a 30- to 60-year sentence in Greene State Prison after being found guilty on 45 of 48 counts of child sex abuse.ddddddddddddA majority of the four-hour hearing focused on the abuse of Victim 2, who previously self-identified as the boy that former Penn State coach Mike McQueary spotted in the shower with Sandusky in 2001. But Lindsay said he could not call the man known as Victim 2 to the stand.We havent been able to find him, Lindsay said.The last day of Sanduskys appeals hearing begins 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. Among those whom the defense plans to call to the stand include two state prosecutors involved in the 2012 case, Joseph McGettigan and Frank Fina.Lindsay does not anticipate the judge will issue a ruling Tuesday.Sandusky previously lost direct appeals to the states Supreme and Superior courts. The Monday hearing falls under the states Post-Conviction Relief Act and is confined to newly discovered evidence, constitutional violations and ineffective lawyering.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
