In a recent Rugby League match, the Sydney Roosters suffered a defeat against the Melbourne Storm or Penrith Panthers, leaving coach Trent Robinson feeling optimistic about the future.
Despite their struggles against these formidable opponents in recent years, Robinson remains hopeful that "the time will come" for his team to rise to the occasion.
The tri-colours' 24-8 loss in Melbourne marked their 18th defeat in 19 games against these top-tier teams in the NRL.
Robinson acknowledged that his team needs to step up and improve, emphasizing that their previous encounters have been closely contested.
"It's pretty simple, we need to improve there.
Obviously it has been pretty close the last couple of games there.
There was a kick in it in the semi-final.
We have to get over it, no use dwelling on it.
There is still some footy to be played.
It's up to us to get over that," Robinson explained, highlighting the need for his team to push through adversity and come out stronger on the other side.
Despite the challenges they face against these strong opponents, Robinson remains confident in his team's abilities, stating, "There isn't a psychology around that when we play them, it's just...
The time will come." With a mix of determination and optimism, the Roosters are poised to overcome their rivals and make their mark in the Rugby League scene.
