Parramatta, NRL to investigate images of rising Eels star

Parramatta has informed the NRL integrity unit after being made aware of photographs circulating on social media of rising star Isaiah Iongi.

This masthead has been sent photos of Iongi seemingly smoking a substance. After becoming aware of the matter, the Eels have contacted the NRL, as is required under the rules whenever a club suspects there is a potential integrity issue.

Parramatta officials contacted Iongi on Tuesday morning.

Iongi is considered a future superstar, nominated as one of the rookies of the year after a breakout season in 2025.

After playing just one NRL game for Penrith, Iongi has made the No.1 jersey his own at the club following the departure of Clint Gutherson.

Story updated: Eels have spoken with Iongi this morning.

        • Though he left his mrs mid last year and surely he ain't in a bath with the boys. I mean nothing wrong with that of course but yeah.

        • metadata

      • What the fuck is he actually doing in that Photo? I don't understand.

        Did he splash it with bubble-bath?

    • Doesn't even look like him

      • Not sure if serious. If you are you are more likely smoking what he is in that pic.

        • Not that pic LB. The one in the 'dark room'

          • Oh my apologies 

  • Now that I have looked again this photo is more about the 'handbag' as I know the brand - Versace? or  atake off and that is very similar to my wifes one we purchased in Paris.

     

    • Coach bag, not Versace. its a real fake

      • Makes sense Make Parra as the kitchen looks a little drab; the Versace ones are not cheap!

"Yeah Super, that's what I thought.
Pato was saying "unavailable to appear until 13th March. So Lomax won't be playing for Storm until Rd3 at the earliest if they get a result in their favour."
I thought he was saying it had been moved to 13th
