Player ratings5 Jun 2028

Asivorosi Rabo was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

Patrick Naranayanan, 18, steals the show — 7.88

Marked 7.88 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market5 Jun 2028

Mervin Chand puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rewa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A row about effort at Rewa

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

Market5 Jun 2028

Nadi join the queue for Jayden Necovski

Add another name to the list: Nadi have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jayden Necovski. The answer from Rewa has not changed — yet.

Match3 Jun 2028

Rewa get the job done against Nasinu

A 1‑0 win over Nasinu, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad5 Jun 2028

A month that belonged to Patrick Naranayanan

The young player of the month award goes to a 18-year-old at Rewa who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Tevita Waranaivalu 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 Rewa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout5 Jun 2028

Isaac Raicama gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market29 May 2028

Jayden Necovski hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rewa can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings29 May 2028

Patrick Naranayanan, 18, steals the show — 7.91

Marked 7.91 at 18, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market29 May 2028

Jolame Domonikibau has one foot out of the door

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

Squad29 May 2028

Words at Rewa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marley Leuluai 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.

Squad29 May 2028

Tempers go at Rewa

Isaac Raicama 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.

The dugout29 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Jayden Necovski

“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.

Squad29 May 2028

The decline has begun for Kosta Colvey

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 33 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for Rewa is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

Match27 May 2028

Patrick Naranayanan rescues a point for Rewa

It needed Patrick Naranayanan to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Ba, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout29 May 2028

Setareki Kalounaiwai on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Setareki Kalounaiwai after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

In brief

  • The dugout A promise honoured for Avishaan Chand
  • Squad The division's best last weekend was a Rewa man
  • The dugout Tito Jale dropped after a run of poor form

Squad14 Feb 2028

A fracture rules Setareki Hughes out for 19 days

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

Match14 Feb 2028

The view from the top for Rewa

35 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Market14 Feb 2028

Delon Shankar agrees terms with Tailevu Naitasiri

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Rewa people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market14 Feb 2028

Uzayr Buksh has one foot out of the door

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

Squad14 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Rewa

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

Squad14 Feb 2028

Tevita Waranaivalu 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 Rewa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Rewa are still strangers to each other

10 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.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Jayden Necovski 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 Rewa, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Kosta Colvey gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

  • Market The Noah DuPont talk will not go away
  • Market The window shut and Setareki Hughes is still in the building
  • Boardroom The Rewa board put their names to it

Squad7 Feb 2028

Setareki Hughes breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market7 Feb 2028

Uzayr Buksh agrees terms with Tailevu Naitasiri

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Rewa people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Deadline passes with 3 signed and 0 gone

That is the business done at Rewa until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Words exchanged at Rewa

Noah DuPont 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.

Squad7 Feb 2028

A row about effort at Rewa

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

Market7 Feb 2028

Kosta Colvey already looking beyond Rewa

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

The dugout7 Feb 2028

Gabriele Matanisiga has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Rewa 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.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Sam German is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Sam German has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Market7 Feb 2028

Experience through the door at Rewa

Kosta Colvey arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Ilisoni Lolaivalu 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 Waitakere United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Kosta Van Hattum has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Cameron Boxall counts the days

“I watch every Waitakere United game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Team Wellington runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Kosta Colvey gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market12 Oct 2026

Talks stall between Waitakere United and Alex Nelson

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Tommy Just 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.
