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.

        • Astral travel you should look up, edibles or a spliff.....what does that mean?

          • Astral travel usually involves looking down, at least it did for me. A few times, all by accident. DMT for the win!!! Just beware the Machine-elves. They won't hurt you but they're freaky little busy fuckers.

            Edibles are cannabis in a form you can eat.. from light buzz gummy bears all the way through to Randette's "paralyse a grizzly bear"  brownies. Two of those bad boys will lift you right out of your body. Spliffs and scoobs are joints

  • 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 🤣

      • Receipt at bottom right shows Accor hotel slip for a 1 night "stone'n'bone" 

  • 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?

"Absolutely, Mitchy. Pay, Dymock, Smith, McCracken—The Big Four—added class and steel. And without the SL war, they don't happen for us. IMO, without Walsh, who saved more tries than he scored, the Broncos probably don't win the 2025 GF."
