Player ratings

A debut Aporosa Hughes will not forget — 8.39

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 2 on the scoresheet, 8.39 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Match

Rewa march on in the cup

Nasinu are out and Rewa go through, 4‑3 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Rewa turn it around against Nasinu

Going 3 down does something to a side, and what it usually does is finish them. Not here. Rewa rebuilt the afternoon goal by goal, and Nasinu had no answer to any of it.

Market

Samuela Nabenia 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.

Market

Delon Shankar is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Rewa is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market

Rewa say no — this time

The offer from Lautoka for Waisake Soga 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.

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.

The terraces

Rewa supporters have found a favourite in Neemish Prasad

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Neemish Prasad has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Neemish Prasad at his very best

Marked 8.40. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Rewa.

Squad

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.

Market

Lautoka watching Waisake Soga

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

Squad

Jolame Domonikibau 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.

Market

No place for Aporosa Hughes in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Aporosa Hughes has his answer from Rewa; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Setareki Hughes linked with a move away

The name of Setareki Hughes keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rewa say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

The shop window has Samuela Nabenia in it

Rewa have let the market know Samuela Nabenia can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market

Josaia Sela 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.

Market

Rewa turn down Suva for Uzayr Buksh

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

Boardroom

Delon Shankar signs for Lautoka while still at Rewa

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Delon Shankar has agreed terms with Lautoka for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

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.

Market

One of our own: Sakaraia Prasad joins the Rewa first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sakaraia Prasad is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Nickel Tuinakauvadra steps up from the Rewa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nickel Tuinakauvadra has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
