Jarome Luai taunts Ryan Matterson after Parra star claimed his three-match ban was UNFAIR

Jarome Luai has chosen to rub salt in Ryan Matterson’s wounds after responding to the Eels star’s complaints following his hefty fine.

The Parra gun will miss his side’s first three rounds of next season after being stabbed for his third offense this year with a crushing tackle on Dylan Edwards in their miserable loss to Penrith.

Matterson had the choice of serving three weeks or paying a $4,000 fine and his decision to go with the former didn’t sit well with some fans amid claims he believes money is more important than the team.

And during a round of media interviews, the 27-year-old lashed out at what he believed was an unjust ruling, pointing to a controversial incident involving Luai, which went unpunished by referee Ashley Klein and the bunker.

“When you consider that Jarome Luai kicks players and is not quoted. It makes you think, ‘Where is this game going?’ he told reporters.

Luai has responded to that joke, posting a series of crying emoji faces on social media after re-shared Matterson’s comments.

The Penrith star has been active on social media since his party’s victory in the premiership, and one post could already see him in hot water with the judiciary.

The Panthers five-eight shared a photo of him and teammate Jaeman Salmon on his Instagram. The publicly shared post contained a word that Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to republish and was quietly removed seven hours later.

The Parra star said it was unfair that Luai was not punished on Sunday for kicking another player

“The NRL Integrity Unit is aware of the mail,” an NRL spokesperson told NewsCorp.

The spokesperson added that the NRL has yet to launch an investigation and would not comment on potential sanctions that Luai could face.

Some teammates told the publication that the racially charged word is sometimes used between friends.

But according to Daily Telegraph NRL journalist Paul Kent, Luai could be in danger of missing matches at the World Cup if the NRL were to crack down on him.

“It’s a well-known racial term that Penrith claims is an expression of affection, which is ridiculous,” Kent said Monday night on Fox League’s NRL 360.

‘He [Luai] is a proud Samoan and he is going to play for Samoa in the World Cup and he has a great chance of missing games now because he once again let himself be carried away by his own greatness.”

Fellow NRL 360 panelist Brent Read agreed: “I don’t like this at all,” he said in reference to Luai’s now-deleted post.
