Could Isaiah Iongi make an early return and give the Parramatta Eels an early look at their first choice spine for 2026? The breakout star was named in the Eels’ extended squad on Team List Tuesday and could force an exciting reshuffle if he is cleared to return on Saturday night against the Rabbitohs. The Tip Sheet looks at how who makes way in Iongi’s hypothetical return and how or if it could change the Eels.

The only time the knights have looked dangerous this year in attack was during the preseason trials where you saw ponga and Sharpe interchanging their roles and positions in attack, constantly seeing Sharpe pushed out to that last receiver common for fullbacks.

So the bunker did what the ref asked
