Squad

The step up is real for Noah Barbarouses

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Words exchanged at Waitakere United

Ryan Stamatelopoulos 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

Late improvement for Cameron Boxall

At 29 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Market

Oliver Tuiloma asks to leave Waitakere United

“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

Ryan Stamatelopoulos 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.

Transfer targets

Waitakere United rebuffed over Josh Earl

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Barnsley have kept their man, and Waitakere United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A row about effort at Waitakere United

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

Squad

Jake Just signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jake Just and Waitakere United agree another 2 years.

Transfer targets

Waitakere United ask about Jeremy Foo

A loan enquiry to Auckland City: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
