Squad12 Oct 2026

The knee: Cameron Nelson out for 46 days

46 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. WaiBOP United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Darren McGrath

At 20 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Kosta Tuiloma 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 WaiBOP United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The knee: Cameron Nelson out for 67 days

67 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. WaiBOP United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at WaiBOP United

Winston Just and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Words at WaiBOP United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cameron Lockyer 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The knee: Cameron Nelson out for 81 days

81 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. WaiBOP United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market7 Sep 2026

Cameron Bell 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 WaiBOP United can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

WaiBOP United close the window on a squad of their own making

0 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Joe Just will not be coming to WaiBOP United

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Waitakere United is saying, and nobody at WaiBOP United is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

WaiBOP United rebuffed over Joe Just

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

Jake Cacace 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The armband comes off Cameron Bell

WaiBOP United will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Squad7 Sep 2026

WaiBOP United have started building around Michael Just

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Jai Reid 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.
