Parramatta and the NRL are launching an investigation into the recent circulation of images featuring rising star Isaiah Iongi, who is considered a future superstar in the NRL. The photos, which appear to show Iongi smoking a substance, were posted on social media without his consent, according to sources. The Eels have contacted the NRL integrity unit as required by the rules, and Parramatta officials have been in contact with Iongi to address the matter. Iongi's breakout season in 2025 earned him a nomination as one of the rookies of the year, and he has already made a name for himself at the club, donning the No.1 jersey after Clint Gutherson's departure. This controversial incident raises questions about the handling of such situations and the importance of player consent in the digital age. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
