We're far from being relegation material and we're far from dreadful. I've seen only 1 dreadful performance this season and that was against Barrow.

Let's keep it in perspective here. We're somewhere between poor and half decent, the problem is the lack of power up front and the consistency in training, which as far as I'm aware are being addressed.

We just need to be patient.

Yep, I think that's about right. Bear in mind that with more patience and grunt up front we could have turned over Leigh and Haven and we weren't really outclassed by Fax either. We're not great but talk of relegation is daft.

Unless we lose on Saturday

Widnes will improve.

They have one of the best squads in the division, but Cullen needs to give the players more self belief in the way you play.

It is very one dimensional, to the extent that any average team will give you a game. You should be blowing mid table teams (Leigh) out of the water, but war far out-enthused.

It will make you more difficult to beat mind, but Fax for me will win more games due to their open stayle of rugby.

As for overall structure (defence / attack), Barrow look good and Toulouse arn't far behind.

There is still a fair way to go fo me, with all top 7 sides in the makeup to take points off each other.

Widnes should make top 6. They need to win more games though against teams around them to have any chance of making the top 3.
