Jai Van Hattum damages knee ligaments — 128 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 128 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.

Cameron Smith is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues 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 Team Wellington this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Real improvement from Liberato Wood at Team Wellington

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Liberato Wood is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Fabby Clark 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 Team Wellington this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Marco Just has improved at 26, 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.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joe Cacace

14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Team Wellington lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Team Wellington say no — this time

The offer from WaiBOP United for Cameron Smith was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Joe Cacace

21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Team Wellington lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Winston Stamatelopoulos 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 Team Wellington can pretend not to have heard.

Team Wellington turn down WaiBOP United for Deklan Fenton

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Cameron Smith attracts admirers

The name of Cameron Smith has come up in conversations Team Wellington were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Tempers go at Team Wellington

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues 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.

Real improvement from Kosta De Vries at Team Wellington

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Kosta De Vries is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.
