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.

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Green Panthers Jerseys . JOHNS, N. Another golden point game, another inevitable debate about the NRLs extra-time system with leading skippers Paul Gallen and Cameron Smith taking opposite sides.Cronulla captain Gallen called for the concept to be scrapped on Tuesday morning, less than 12 hours after the Sharks winning streak ended with an 18-18 draw against the Gold Coast on Monday night.The only solution is to get rid of it, Gallen told Sky Sports Radios Big Sports Breakfast.If you want to play extra time, play the extra five minutes each way.If you can kick a field goal, kick a field goal.At the end of that 10 minutes if you win 11-10, then you win. But if you score a try, then thats a golden try.Monday nights draw was the second of the 2016 season and just the sixth since the start of 2010.Each side missed a number of field goal chances, with charge-downs becoming the name of the game in the extra-time period.Both coaches complained post-match about tthe unwillingness of referees to blow penalties for offside and Gallen also agreed with them on Tuesday morning.ddddddddddddHowever Melbourne, Queensland and Australian captain, Cameron Smith, said he was happy with the way golden point matches had been officiated this season, arguing he didnt want to see a change from referees.As long as referees keep that consistent over every game and every team then you wont get any complaints from me, he said.Thats just the way the game is at the moment.Referees are very hesitant to blow their whistle in golden point. Would you like to be the deciding factor in a golden point game?The NRL has this season introduced a mandatory 10-minute extra-time period for drawn finals matches this season, before then reverting to golden point if scores are still tied.
