Squad

Tempers go at Nadi

Eneriko Matau 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.

Squad

Aidan Malakai Singh falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

When it matters, Rocky Junior plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Nadi

Clivert Sam and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Nadi

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mohammed Ayman was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ratu Saimoni Nabogi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

Rocky Junior gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Rocky Junior is on it.

Market

Still no ink between Nadi and Clivert Sam

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Nadi, another week without a signature from Clivert Sam.

The dugout

Jonasa Ravukitiliva 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 Nadi, and both men came out saying it was fine.
