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.

          • Considering this photo is old and released by a spiteful ex partner lol, I think Izzy all clear 

            • Eli, let's be clear, there is no confirmation it was his ex that took them and the pics are old.

                • Still doesn't confirm if it is his ex. We are, like i was, speculating.

          • I'd be singing a different tune if he took this last week and some mates just threw it online 🤣

    • It's great it's exactly how JR planned it the integrity unit in amongst the club five minutes out from the season investigating one of Parra's best players.It's perfect preparation for a season just normal shit normal mistakes fark your only trying to end a a forty year drought.But carry on nothing to see here.

      • The pic could have been taken 5 year ago Coryn.  Prove that its recent then you can complain.  

  • If he gets fined, just keep him away from getting any advice from Matto.

    • To be fair, Matto wouldn't do this stuff. His body is a temple. 

  • these days, he can just tell the integrity unit its ai lol
