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 have also attempted to contact Iongi, but have so far been unable to do so 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.

  • Shame on his old mate for sending this in...he looks a bit younger there tho.

    • Yeah it's from like 2024 lol, nrl won't do anything 

      • Thars seems to be the case while still at panthers who knows 

      • Can I ask how you know it's from 2024?

        • He was with her in his panthers days lol, before he joined Parra. Shes been on a warpath on socials for a while now 

          • So did she post it?

            • Well her tiktok all of a sudden is private with no profile pic. Could be a coincidence? Doubt it.

              • Ah, well there ya go

                • Look it could be she did that so people wouldn't hassle her asking if it was her?

          • Seriously, an nrl player has to learn early they can't trust anyone. Though it's at panthers, he'll  learn from it.
