What's the Iongi Update?

Posted by Parraborn1 on March 2, 2026 at 1:52pm

Does anyone else find it weird that the chat on Iongi has gone very quiet? We've heard nothing from the NRL or the club directly, only through newspaper articles.

May it be because the NRL don't see it as much of a serious issue? What do we think? Does he play round 1 or not?

I think we'd have found out by now if he was being suspended given the side would have been selected by the coaches for Thursday.

Just spitballing considering all the scuttlebut that's gone on up to now but, I wonder if the NRL told the Eels to get a deal done with the Storm re Lomax and the Iongi thing will go away?

  Considering the straight bat the Eels have played so far in this saga, I'd be amazed if we wouldn't just turn around and use that as another example of how the NRL are trying to manipulate their preferred outcome in bad faith.
