Player ratings

Nobody could get near Asivorosi Rabo

Successful dribbles: 44. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Ersūltan Baiten asks to leave Rewa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Rewa

Tevita Waranaivalu 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

Words at Rewa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zafarbek Rahimjonov 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

Damir Livaja stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Damir Livaja and Rewa agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Home is on Alexandr Sirotkov's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Rewa are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market

Rewa sign Ben Lockyer, one for the future

Ben Lockyer is 18, and Rewa have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Delon Shankar is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Rewa has been clear about where Delon Shankar stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match

Point won or two lost for Rewa?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Labasa? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The Waitakere United Sentinel

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Waitakere United

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Real improvement from Monty Tuiloma at Waitakere United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Monty Tuiloma is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Marco Colvey 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.

Market

Team Wellington watching Monty De Vries

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Waitakere United have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Alex De Vries signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alex De Vries commits to Waitakere United for another 2 years.

Squad

Words at Waitakere United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Deklan Sutton 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.
