Is expectation our most feared opponent?

Third time I've bumped this because it's Deja Vu all over again. I know it's only half time but this one looks well over. Yes I have trust issues.

I know the game is a great leveler to stop clubs and their supporters getting ahead themselves but we've consistently dropped winnable games late in finals pushes and it's as frustrating as it can be.
Thanks for the bump, it's a good reminder.

The answer to the thread title is yes.

We seem to always do better when we are the underdogs. The 2016 final series is proof of this. We went into all those games as underdogs and it worked out so well in the end winning our 2nd premiership.

We simply need to handle the expectation better and not listen to the outside noise and just get it done against opponents who we should really be beating if we are serious.
