"We are all feeling positive," he said. "Throughout the Club everyone is confident that we can secure the results we need in our final three games to confirm our Premiership status.

"Everyone has been working extremely hard, both on and off the pitch. The management, players and backroom staff are all feeling bright and looking forward to facing the coming challenges as a close team.

"Everyone is confident that we can go to Wigan and achieve a great result. We have so many of our fans travelling up to the game that we are sure to have an extra advantage."
