Samoa's Pita Godinet expects a torrid welcome from his old Warriors teammates in the Kiwis when the two sides meet in tomorrow's Four Nations test in Whangarei.
The diminutive No 9 was a standout performer off the bench in last Saturday's thrilling but ultimately disappointing loss to England, scoring two vital tries to earn a starting spot for the Toll Stadium clash.
Godinet left the Warriors last year after three seasons to take up a two-year deal with Super League club Wakefield and is looking forward to an on-field reunion with some familiar faces.
"It's going to be a good game especially coming up against the boys," Godinet said.
"I always look forward to playing against them. We're mates off the field but on the field you've just got to play for your country and let the result deal with itself."
