this is differnet to parras final runs in previous years (eg 01 , 05 , 07). in those years they finished high and had all the pressure on them. this year they finisehd 8th and are coming from the other direction with no pressure on them
LOL you can't help but laugh when fans/players/coaches etc come out and say there's no pressure on them. It means sweet FA where you finish on the ladder or if nobody expects you to win, the fact is when you're playing in sudden death finals there's pressure on every side to win, especially when you're playing in the game to make the grand final.
In Parra's case considering they've been in 5 preliminary finals in the last 10 years and only won only 1 of them you'd have to say they'd be under plenty of pressure. But you keep telling yourself they aren't :sarcasm:
Is there an invisible post on here? What parra supporter said there's no pressure?
Did i mention Parra fans specifically? I'm sure pretty much every club has had some fans/coaches/players come out at one time or another and say there's no pressure on them. The only reason i used Parra for an example here is because that's what team the thread is about.

In 07 at Etihad we had about 3 tries disallowed because Inu's left boot was 2mm too wide. We could have won that game.I disagree. 2007 was similar to this season. They came 5th and had momentum but met the undisputed top team that year in Melbourne in Melbourne and fell short 26-10 in the prelims.

JT was coach - and like this year there was major changes at the club mid year.
Gee I dunno, if they werent under pressure at Kogarah in week one, then i am having a hard time defining pressure. Lose and your out, against the minor premieres away.
The '07 semi against Melbourne was quality. Far better than the grand final. Had Inu been in, Parra probably would have won and Melbourne reach 3 GFs without a win.
