In a classic case of "player turnover," Penrith Panthers rising star Isaiah Iongi is rumored to be taking his talents to a rival New South Wales club in search of more game time in the NRL.
With his current contract set to expire in 2025, Iongi's future at the Panthers is as uncertain as a bounce of the ball in a scrum.
Meanwhile, the Panthers are beefing up their squad by snatching players from other teams to fill their Top 30 roster, including Isaiah Papali'i from the Tigers and Blaize Talagi from the Eels.
Making his debut against the Newcastle Knights recently, Iongi's performance has sparked interest from the Parramatta Eels, especially after Talagi's departure from the club.
It seems the Eels are keen to tackle Iongi and pin him down for a three-year contract.
If the reports from The Daily Telegraph are to be believed, Iongi is all set to make the switch and possibly take on the role of primary fullback for the Eels.
This move could be a game-changer for both Iongi and the Eels, as they aim to forge a winning combination on the field.
Stay tuned for more updates on this blockbuster transfer in the world of Rugby League.
