Their recruitment has been very good, they've put together a very competitive squad. I'm not sure they're good enough to win a trophy unless they catch Saints, Wigan or Catalans on an off day or have a lucky draw again (probably Huddersfield or Cas at home in the QF).
Challenge Cup is undoubtedly rovers big chance to break that 39 year trophy drought.
I don't see them winning either the LLS or GF due, primarily, to Wigan and Saints most likely blocking their path.
But the CC is more of a one-off, as rovers and Leigh both showed when defeating Wigan and Saints last year.
Semi-finalists 2022, runners-up 2023, winners 2024? One final step to take, maybe? A lot can depend on the quarter-final draw and on-the-day incidents, but I have a nagging feeling they will go one better in June.
Hate to say it, but they remind me a bit of ourselves in 2016, on the up with real belief of genuine success.
Ironically we, right now, remind me of rovers, also in 2016!! (at least we can't be relegated though, unlike them!!).
