NRL powerhouse Phil Gould was left scratching his head in disbelief as he took a shot at Johnathan Thurston's fashion sense live on air.
The rugby league icon was left red-faced after being called out by Gould following the Sea Eagles' dominant win over the Eels on Friday night.
Thurston, the former North Queensland Cowboys legend, found himself in the firing line as the Canterbury Bulldogs boss took aim at his choice of attire, particularly his oversized scarf.
Despite the mild Sydney evening at 4 Pines Park, with temperatures comfortably below 20 degrees, Thurston opted for a more bundled up look that didn't sit well with Gould.
"Have you seen what Johnathan Thurston's wearing? Have a squiz at his outfit," Gould exclaimed, clearly unimpressed by the 41-year-old's winter ensemble.
The banter between the two rugby league greats added some spice to the post-game analysis, with Gould delivering a cheeky stitch-up on live television.
In true Aussie sporting fashion, the light-hearted dig added a touch of humor to the broadcast, showcasing the playful camaraderie between these two rugby league titans on and off the field.
Whether it was a sly jab or good-natured ribbing, Thurston was left to defend his fashion choices as the banter continued.
