A fiery Jarome Luai and Kyle Flanagan have traded headbutts in the Panthers' 28-0 win over the Bulldogs.<\/a><\/p>\n

The youngsters locked horns early in the second half with Trent Barrett's men chasing down an 18-0 deficit.<\/p>\n

Flanagan appeared to take umbrage with something Luai had said, taking the fight to the Panther head-on.<\/p>\n

"Look at this Flanagan and Luai nose to nose," Queensland great Corey Parker said in commentary for Fox Sports. "That's personal that is."<\/p>\n

\"Flanagan<\/p>\n

"Flanagan was one out there he was surrounded by Panthers," caller Dan Ginnane added.<\/p>\n

"Now he is getting a little bit of advice. It was almost an Eskimo kiss."<\/p>\n

"You don't need to touch him," Gough said to Luai.<\/p>\n

"You caused that and if it blows up you would be going as well."<\/p>\n

"Sort of a good personal battle between us," Luai said. "He's a good footballer and he came out firing.<\/p>\n

"We're good mates off the field so hopefully he does well this year."<\/p>\n
