Rahul Naresh damages knee ligaments — 96 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 96 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A fracture rules Kalaveti Sivoi out for 79 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Ba will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Misiwani Nairube has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Ba they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Tempers go at Ba

Patrick Joseph 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.

Kishan Sami 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 dugout21 Feb 2028

Lucas Abarca 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 Lucas Abarca is on it.

The Etonia Dogalau story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Etonia Dogalau signs something — a contract at Ba or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Uzayr Buksh leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Uzayr Buksh leaves Ba the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager comes out for Tevita Koroi
  • Boardroom The Ba board put their names to it

Misiwani Nairube is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Ba is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Patrick Joseph in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Ba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Misiwani Nairube 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 dugout1 Nov 2027

Lucas Abarca has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Ba 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.

Patrick Joseph linked with a move away

The name of Patrick Joseph keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Ba say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Jale Lal still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Ba would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

In brief

  • The dugout Uzayr Buksh asks for a word with the manager
  • Squad The training reports on Ruel Grayven are not good
  • The dugout The manager plants his flag on Patrick Joseph
  • Boardroom Ba board back the manager
