Squad

70 days out for Apisai Sesewa after a fracture

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Nadi

Eneriko Matau 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

Words at Nadi training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aidan Malakai Singh is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Apisai Sesewa breaks a bone — 77 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 77 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A falling-out at Nadi

Eneriko Matau and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jimson Abana

“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

Clivert Sam has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Nadi will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Simione Seru knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Simione Seru trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Pauliasi Tulivou is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

Squad

Words exchanged at Nadi

Vishant Reddy 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

Mohammed Ayman 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

Simione Seru asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Vishant Reddy and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Nadi are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad

Words at Nadi training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aidan Malakai Singh is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
