After all these years, Andrew Fifita knows the Wests Tigers faithful will still give it to him when he appears in front of the main grandstand at Leichhardt Oval.

"At least I've got 'Woodsy' by my side, so they'll probably be giving it to him more than me,'' quipped Fifita, in reference to Aaron Woods, another former Tiger who now calls Cronulla home.

"I love this stuff. I guarantee even before we go out we'll laugh at each other because we know what to expect.

"I know crowds. I love banter. There's nothing better in the world than copping it but then doing something good.''
