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.

Fake news fake news, that's not even Iongi. I mean you can't tell it's him right?
it's a year or 2 ago 🤣
Possible scenario ...Tripp contacts Iongi's ex (amongst other players' exes). Says do you have anything on this player? We'll pay to leak it!
Iongi's ex takes the bait.
We call her as witness in a few weeks like a double agent.
Badge, you been smoking again?
