just out of curiosity, why should you have beaten us?

That piece terribke to read- it had little flow. The MEN need to get journos who can write.
I'm curious as to what the MEN believes made Hicks' a poor display.

With all respect, you're no Saints, Leeds or Wigan.

You're a team, like us, building slowly and trying to peck away at the big boys. You're not dire and you're not world beaters. That puts us in a similar circle. If we want to progress we need to be seeing teams like yourselves as beatable at home. You'd look at Salford the same way if you were playing us at home.

I'd expect that, and certainly wouldn't get the hump if other fans viewed us as such.

You've got to be realistic.

Nobody 'should' beat anyone else. A more accurate phrase would be 'Should be a team we can compete with and be strong against on our own patch.'

With respect I agree. Leeds, Saints, Warrington and Wigan are trophy winners. A different league to everyone else.
However when it comes to big game experience. CC final, playoff semi' finals, playoff games in general how can you put yourself in our league?

Not to say you won't get there this season. Do it regularly and big teams will stand up and take you seriously like they do us.

Money can buy you good players but experience of constantly finishing in the top 4 like we have you can't buy. Maybe we'll both take a step forward this season.

Everything's subjective.

I personally think that Huddersfield are ahead of us in the progress to become a top four side. However, I don't think you're so far ahead that it is unreasonable to expect us to win at home. Recent results in the modern era would suggest it's not unrealistic at all. Of course, you may disagree, and that's why it's subjective...
