Penrith Panthers duo Jarome Luai and Jaeman Salmon have been caught in a heated argument following full-time in their 13-12 loss to the Brisbane Broncos.

The pair were spotted getting into it after some final siren had rang, with Luai criticising Salmon for a late-game error, which the back-row fired back at in an expletive-ridden conversation.

Despite criticising one another, theย Channel 9ย commentary team took umbrage to the footage, claiming it's just another day in rugby league.

โ€œI understand we love it and we're part of the media and we're going to talk about it โ€ฆ but it's rugby league. It's a tough, brutal spot,โ€ Gallen said on the network post-match.

โ€œThese guys compete for a living, it's what they do, they're so competitive, testosterone-fuelled blokes that are trained to compete on every single play for 80 minutes of the game โ€“ and when something doesn't go right they want to know why and they have a discussion about it. Who cares?

โ€œThey care about the result, they care about the game, so just let it go.โ€

While Origin rivals Gallen and Jonathan Thurston were often at odds with one another on the field, the former Kangaroos certainly agreed on this one.

โ€œThey excelled the last two years, they played perfect footy about every time. So when someone misses their assignment, you want to know why you weren't there," Thurston said on-air.

โ€œI think it's just part and parcel of rugby league, you have those conversationsโ€ฆ bury it and move on.โ€

The pair will have a chance to regroup when they line-up at BlueBet Stadium again next week, this time against the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Thursday night.
