Obviously, with a couple of wins, things can change dramatically.
But I believe it shows our current form is not good enough to win the championship. Maybe the tide has turned today?
ps Average points tally for 6th place is 73 (though 70 has been enough in 2 of last 3 years). So, even the most negatively minded Rs fan can take some comfort that we're probably only 5 or 6 wins and a few draws from a play-off spot.
