Everybody expects not-Wigan/Saints/Leeds to ‘bottle it’ every year, and they’re invariably right.
Rovers being good offers a little bit of novelty in a competition that is mostly bereft of it, and it is one of the two or three subplots that pop up each year to help get us through to the same routine and predictable conclusion of the main storyline.
