Sydney Roosters win over premiers North Queensland hasnt restored respectability to Bondi, star back-rower Boyd Cordner believes.The Roosters claimed just their third win of 2016 on Sunday, defeating the Cowboys 22-10 in round 23.It was a performance that showed what could have been for the Roosters, who will miss the NRL finals for the first time this season under coach Trent Robinson.However straight-talking NSW star Cordner said the Roosters still had some way to go to earn back the respect they once had on the back of three successive minor premierships under Robinson and the 2013 title.We havent earned back that respect to tell you the truth, probably not, we dont deserve that just yet, Cordner told AAP.We have been really inconsistent. It is only five wins, it is not enough to warrant respect. We know that. It is about being a consistent footy team all year and I dont think we have put back-to-back games together.The win over the Cowboys was one of the few times this year, the Roosters star trio of Cordner, Mitchell Pearce and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves have been on the field at the same time, due to injury and suspension.It has been pretty frustrating we havent been able to have that luxury other sides have had. We have only had our full team on the park three or four times which is really disappointing, Cordner said.But no excuses, we should have been lot better than we were at the start of the year.It is our fault the position we are in, no one elses.The Roosters face St George Illawarra, Cronulla and Brisbane over the final three rounds.We just want to finish off the year really well and get some momentum into next year, Cordner said.It is the way things are. It is frustrating. But you cant dwell on it. We can only control what is in front of us and we are looking forward to that.If we can win a few games and finish off the year well it will be good for our young blokes confidence knowing we can mix it with the best.

DALLAS -- Baylor quarterback Seth Russell was on a mission trip in Brazil with other athletes from the private Baptist school when he got the text message from Art Briles saying he was no longer their football coach.Felt like I was helpless, like a lot of people felt, Russell said Tuesday at Big 12 football media days.Russell described it as a punch in the gut when hearing what came out in the wake of Briles departure after winning two Big 12 titles at the school.An independent review by the Pepper Hamilton law firm found that football coaches and staff interfered with investigations into sexual assault complaints against players, and even impeded potential criminal proceedings. The firm released a 13-page report May 26, the same day Briles was immediately suspended before reaching a mutual agreement with the school for his departure about a month later.Personally, I was heartbroken, I was very surprised, senior center Kyle Fuller said. I wasnt aware of all the things that were going on. I didnt know exactly how to react to it.But Fuller and Russell both said the Bears, down to about 70 scholarship players, are focused on staying together as a team and moving forward with acting coach Jim Grobe and the assistant coaches who remained.We all got together and we talked about it, saw who was in and who was out, Fuller said. I was confident and I was very happy with the guys that were committed to getting to this next year. So thats all were going to focus on: getting through this season, being a Big 12 championship team.Grobe said he is coaching a great, great group of kids and has been impressed by how they have handled the adversity. And he wont change how the Bears play on the field after leading the nation in total offense and scoring each of the past three seasons.Im an old West Virginia hillbilly, and we got that feeling if it aint broke, dont fix it, Grobe said. So from strictly a football perspective, I think we want to continue to play fast and furious on offense.Russell, the top-rated FBS passer when he suffered a season-ending neck injury in the seventh game last season, was among players who had lunch with Briles last week.Were family, he brought in, he gave me the opportunity to play the game, Russell said. I know that hes a great character guy and he just got caught in the wrong situation.While Baylor players were meeting with the media, interim university president David Garland and two members of the board of regents met with the Big 12 board of directors for two hours. Oklahoma President David Boren and Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said they wanted to be filled in on the investigation and what measures Baylor is taking in response.The details provided today are a necessary step in helping the entire membership gain a better understanding of the past actions and how the university plans to deal with all the issues identified in the Pepper Hamilton findings, Boren said in a statement. We were assured of the universittys commitment to keep the conference appraised going forward.ddddddddddddSome other things from the end of Big 12 media days.NOT GOING ANYWHERE: Bob Stoops is going into his 18th season at Oklahoma and is barely the longest-tenured FBS coach after Virginia Techs Frank Beamer retired. The Sooners hired Stoops the day before Iowa hired current coach Kirk Ferentz.When asked Tuesday how long he planned to keep coaching, the 55-year-old Stoops said he is excited as he was his for his first season as the Sooners head coach, and hopefully will go 10 more years or so. But he doesnt plan to stay as long as Kansas States Bill Snyder, who is 76.I dont think I will be one of those guys, God bless him, like Coach Snyder, Im not going that long, Stoops said. But I sure can go to retirement age.STEDMAN BACK AT WVU: Stedman Bailey left West Virginia early for the NFL. The three-year pro is now back on campus to finish his undergraduate degree and work as a student assistant coach this fall for coach Dana Holgorsen.Bailey is still not cleared medically to play again after getting shot twice in the head while sitting in a car with family in November back home in Miami. The Los Angeles Rams placed him on the reserve non-football injury list, though the 25-year-old with high hopes of playing again was working this summer in a support role with Rams assistant coaches in charge of receivers and special teams.We worked pretty closely with the Rams to figure out whats in his best interest right now, Holgorsen said. The No. 1 step for that is to get his undergraduate degree. ... Im anticipating him being able to take a couple of young receivers and showing them technique stuff and kind of doing what he did with the Rams a little bit, just get his feet wet with coaching.Bailey had 210 catches for 3,218 yards and 41 touchdowns for the Mountaineers from 2010-12.DEFENDING WILDCATS: Four Kansas State defenders were named to the preseason All-Big 12 team selected by the media: linemen Will Geary and Jordan Wells, linebacker Elijah Lee and defensive back Dante Barnett. Thats not all that impresses Snyder about them.I like the fact that theyre good, young people, Snyder said. I like the fact that they are valued young people in terms of having an intrinsic value system that allows them to be productive leaders, and obviously leadership is important in our program as it is any other program.STRONG KNOWS: In his opening statement, Texas coach Charlie Strong immediately talked about the Longhorns having to elevate this program this season. They were 5-7 last year, even with wins over Oklahoma and Texas, after going 6-7 in Strongs debut in 2014.The expectations here are always high, which they should be, and why would you want it any other way, Strong said. There is no reason for us to go 6-7 and 5-7, and you want to see progress. ' ' '
