There are only 4 forces (threat of substitutes, power of suppliers, power of consumers, threat of new entrants) and these affect the intensity of rivalry in the industry.

Have I entirely misunderstood?

Thanks

Rivalry is one of the five; when taken together they should identify whether it would be possible to make profit and/or a supplier should either stay in or move into a market.
Can be used by existing and potential new suppliers.

There's a good example at the bottom of this page that I've used in the past.
