Tigers five-eighth Benji Marshall believes the burden of expectation is squarely on the Dragons ahead of this weekend's NRL semifinal.

Perennial under-achievers, St George-Illawarra failed in the preliminary finals in 2005, 2006 and 2009.

Marshall says his side likes flying under the radar.

He says they're quite relaxed early in the week as they can't get too caught up in the hype.

The Dragons fell one game short of last year's grand final after finishing minor premiers.
