Veteran Panthers like Royce Simmons and Col Van der Voort would've had a heart attack if they caught a glimpse of the 2020 Penrith side arriving for training on Tuesday.
Seemingly inspired by the flashy accessories and suits worn by the dynastic Chicago Bulls in the recent ESPN docu-series The Last Dance, the NRL wannabes suited up in their best gear at Penrith Park.
Kiwi forward James Fisher-Harris told teammates to turn up to training in some in eye-catching clothing and the mountain men did their best to impress.
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen often appeared in mint suits before home and away games during the popular series as have many US stars in the NBA and NFL. But wearing a suit to Penrith training is unheard of.

"When 'Fish' came up with the idea we were all like, 'yeah, 100 per cent'," he said. "The word went out for all the boys to dress in their best gear. We'll probably do it again."
Halves Nathan Cleary and Tyrone May seem to have recovered from the fallout from their punishment for breaking COVID-19 restrictions, donning some left-field fashion items to look the part.
