MEET the Penrith Panthers — or should they be called the Penrith flyers!
The boys from the foot of the mountains have mastered the art of jumping to score a try in the corner.
Dean Whare's try in round three demonstrated the modern acrobatics that has become an essential part of an outside back's kit bag.
Whare was the beneficiary of another frequent flyer in David Simmons as he grabbed a bomb and passed it to the centre to dive in the corner.
The right hand side isn't the only flight path over Sportingbet Stadium.
The left hand edge which has featured Josh Mansour and Kevin Naiqama in the opening rounds are no strangers to bending themselves around the corner post for a four-pointer.
Mansour, who scored a similar try in the opening round, said the acrobatics moves are an instinctive manoeuvre when faced with tight spaces.
"You tend not to have much space to work with so you need to do your best with what you have and sometimes the best place to be is in the air," he said.
"To be honest I haven't really practised the put downs but every winger needs to have that in his game these days."
The Panther flyers added a new name to the list with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak making his debut in round five. He was quick to show his wares with two tries on debut. The only problem now is for coach Ivan Cleary.
The Panthers now have four quality wingers to fit into two spots.
It highlights the growing depth at the foot of the mountains in 2014.
