Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens says his side's Friday night blockbuster against Parramatta - a clash between the two sides on the best winning streaks in the NRL at the moment - is no more important than his side's six previous wins.
"It's no bigger a game than we've been playing over the past six weeks," said Sheens.
"We've got three games (still) to play, not one. If it was the last game of the season and win or lose we made the semis I would agree (it's the biggest game of the year.)
"The fans get all hyped up and the media get all hyped up, we don't get all hyped up."
Skipper Robbie Farah said he wanted to avoid too much emphasis on the game and putting any extra pressure on his side as they seek to end a finals drought that stretches back to the premiership win in 2005.
"I don't want to place that pressure on us," he said.
"It's an important game and a pretty big one in terms of what we do this year but we're not going to be slitting our throats if we lose.
"A hiccup is not going to cost us a semi-final spot, but it does make it tougher."
A loss however could see the Tigers fall from fifth to tenth on the NRL table in one weekend
