Penrith Panthers star Jarome Luai has come under fire after eagle-eyed fans spotted him performing an ugly act on an opponent.

Fans watching on were quick to point out the act with many labelling it a grubby move by the Panthers star.

Luai's teammate Brian To'o was being tackled by a pair of Parramatta players, with Isiah Papali'i one of them.

The massive win could be marred following an incident that could have seen Jarome Luai sent from the field.

By the time Brown came on the damage was done and apart from late tries to Gutherson and Jake Arthur they barely troubled the Panthers. They briefly matched the Panthers for aggression and fight in the forwards but when Stephen Crichton scored in the 12th minute, Parramatta fell apart at the seams. Parramatta’s forwards had spoken of needing to win the fight with the Panthers in the middle to have any chance of beating them. As Papali’i falls to the ground as part of the tackle, Luai appears to kick the Eel. But as sure as night follows day, the Panthers clicked into gear and ensured the Eels’ wait for a title would stretch into a 37th year. Papali’i was in the middle of making a tackle on a returning Brian To’o.
