Adam Doueihi gave a masterclass on delivering under pressure, with the Wests Tigers star's hilarious moment with a heckling fan leaving NRL fans in stitches.

Doueihi was instrumental in Saturday night's extraordinary 34-32 come-from-behind victory against Manly that kept the Tigers' slim hopes of finals footy alive.

The Tigers centre scored two of his side's late three tries - which turned a 14-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining - into a two-point win.

The victory leaves the Tigers four points off the eighth-placed Cronulla Sharks, with three games left of the regular season to play.

As well as his tries, Doueihi came up clutch with the boot time and time again - kicking five out of his six conversions despite not being the club's recognised goal kicker.

Many of the centre's conversions were right on the touchline, including one on the right side of the field that was kicked under the most intense scrutiny.

Audio from the Fox Sports' coverage picked up the sledging that Doueihi was copping from a Sea Eagles fan as he set up for his shot at goal.

The parochial Manly supporter was screaming at Doueihi before he lined up the shot at goal, doing his best job to make sure the Tigers centre stuffed up his kick.

The Sunday Night with Matty Johns team were in stitches as they showed the clip after the final game of round 17 over the weekend.

"You’ve gotta kick it right, Doueihi," the supporter screamed before Doueihi stepped up to strike the attempted conversion.

“You’ve gotta kick it right because it's going left.

“You're pointing it to the left! I’m telling you, you’re pointing it to the left!

“You've gotta compensate! Compensaaaate!”

Just as Doueihi was about to kick the ball a huge gust of wind knocked it off the tee, adding even more hilarity to the situation.

Doueihi set the ball back up on the tee before going through his routine once again, prompting the heckling fan to resume his entertaining commentary.

“You’ve put it too far right now! You’ve gotta kick it left!” the fan yelled at the centre.

Doueihi wasn't have a bar of it, however, and somehow managed to block out the considerable noise before slotting the sideline conversion between the sticks.

As soon as he realised the conversion was successful, Doueihi turned to the heckling supporter and gave him the cheekiest hint of a grin.

The Tigers star certainly had the last laugh, with the two points proving crucial in the end and his exchange with the sledging fan lighting up social media.
