Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson believes his team can emerge resurgent from the wreckage of a horror 2016 NRL season.After three straight minor premierships, Thursdays 24-14 loss to Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium - the clubs 18th defeat of the year - ensures theyll finish the season 15th on the ladder.After Mitchell Pearces Australia Day dog drama in pre-season which resulted in an eight-week ban for the halfback, things hardly got any better for the Roosters in the opening weeks of the campaign.With Pearce banned, the Roosters were also missing key players such as Boyd Cordner, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Dale Copley for significant stretches of the first half of the year.The Roosters won one of their first eight matches, a run which had them all but out of finals contention before the end of April.Weve got to make sure we take our lessons, Robinson said.If you just brush it aside and you dont use it youre not going to get back up there again.Were not unlucky. We dont deserve to be there and well work hard to get back there again next year.Despite their woes the Roosters will have plenty of talent in their squad heading into next year.Representative players Pearce, Waerea-Hargreaves, Blake Ferguson and Cordner are all still going to be at the Tricolours in 2017.Five-eighth Connor Watson and outside back Latrell Mitchell - who played every match in his rookie season - have emerged as young talents and the club is also bringing in Luke Keary from South Sydney and experienced fullback Michael Gordon.Its been a tough and a great year, Robinson said.The good thing is weve got some experience there that are hurting and that have stuck tough all year and weve got some youth thats coming through that have played some games.Im excited about the future but weve got to make sure we dont brush over why we had the year that we had as well.Im hurting and excited.

The mixed zone is not a place to make friends.DETROIT -- Albert Pujols doubled, and the next three batters hit singles. Then there were a couple walks, some poor Detroit fielding -- and by the time the inning ended, the Los Angeles Angels had scored eight runs. "All I could do was clap and high-five," said C.J. Wilson, the Los Angeles starter who was the beneficiary of that offensive outburst. "And be stoked for my teammates that they scored that many runs." J.B. Shuck had three hits and a career-high four RBIs, and the Angels routed the Tigers again, 14-8 on Tuesday night. Los Angeles has won seven straight against Detroit by a combined score of 48-17. Wilson (7-5) allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings, and the Angels took advantage of six Detroit errors on a rainy night. "It was just an ugly night for us. Obviously, they hit the ball all over the place and we didnt make some plays," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We actually swung the bats halfway decent, but we just played an ugly game. We pitched and played an ugly game." Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the third for the Tigers, but he also made two errors. Rick Porcello (4-5) gave up seven runs and 10 hits in 4 1-3 innings. The Angels scored nine runs off him in two-thirds of an inning in April. This start looked better at first, but Los Angeles broke through in a big way in the fifth. The game was tied at 2 when Pujols hit a one-out double in the fifth. Mark Trumbo followed with a single, and Howie Kendricks single gave the Angels the lead. They werent done. Josh Hamiltons single brought home another run -- Torii Hunters throw might have been in time, but catcher Bryan Holaday couldnt handle it on the bounce -- and with runners on second and third, Alberto Callaspo was intentionally walked. Darin Downs relieved Porcello and allowed all three inherited runners to score. He walked Hank Conger to force in a run, and Erick Aybars sacrifice fly made it 6-2. Shuck followed with an RBI single, and a single by Mike Trout brought home another run. Pujols RBI single made it 9-2 and chased Downs. Evan Reed came on and immediately made a wild pickoff throw to first for an error, allowing one more run to come home.

Were so far back right now, its not even scoreboard watching. We have to really pull together and get the most out of ourselves." Hamilton had three hits after entering the night in an 0-for-15 slump. He also scored three runs. Cabrera beat out Trout last year for AL MVP, and each star made his presence felt in the third. Trout drove in the games first run with a single, and Cabrera answered with an opposite-field homer, his 21st. Wilson threw seven scoreless innings in his previous start. He wasnt as sharp Tuesday, allowing three runs in the fifth immediately after his teammates had given him a 10-2 lead. Shuck made it 11-5 with a sacrifice fly in the seventh, scoring Aybar, who had walked, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Holaday.

Ramon Santiago, who was hitting .163 and had entered as a replacement for Cabrera, drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth to make it 14-7. A streak of lightning was visible in the distance when Hamilton caught Don Kellys sacrifice fly for the second out, and Victor Martinez grounded out to end it.
