Squad

71 days out for Tomasi Tuicakau after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Nadroga will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Nadroga

Sakeo Taganeca was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Abdul Farid told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Abdul Farid has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Nadroga.

The dugout

No hiding place for Tomasi Tuicakau

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tomasi Tuicakau, and the manager let it.

Market

Nadroga and Zoheb Rahim are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout

Zoheb Rahim knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Nadroga, and both men came out saying it was fine.
