After earlier in the year issuing a blunt reminder that Bankwest Stadium was their NRL home too, the Wests Tigers are trying to avoid it becoming a graveyard.
Heading into Thursday's NRL clash with South Sydney, the $360 million, 30,000-seat stadium in Sydney's western suburbs has been anything but a happy hunting ground for the joint venture.
In their two outings there they have recorded two losses for a combined score of 79-6 - thanks largely to their 51-6 thumping to Parramatta on opening day in round six.
In the lead up to the stadium's unveiling, Tigers coach Michael Maguire said it didn't just belong to Parramatta, and it was his side's home too given they are taking four home games there in 2019.
And he hosed down talk of a hoodoo, saying there was no rhyme or reason they had been on the end of two shellackings there.
"If we score points, we flip that around," Maguire said.
"It's no different to playing at any other ground.
"This is part of who we are and we get to play here quite often and it's a great ground to play at. And we want to make sure we turn up."
Both Souths and the Tigers go into the Thursday night fixture looking to arrest mid-season slumps.
The Tigers have just one win from their last four games and even their last-start win over North Queensland was uninspiring.
While Wayne Bennett's Bunnies are staring down the barrel of four straight losses and the prospect of losing touch with ladder leaders Melbourne.
"We're pretty desperate ourselves," Maguire said.
"We've shown signs but we need to improve.
"We're at the time of the year where we've got great opportunities in front of us and we've got to do the things that we're capable of. But it doesn't mean much if we don't do it for 80 minutes."
