Market

Setareki Bari has said yes to Nasinu

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Nadi have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Ratu Saimoni Nabogi asks to leave Nadi

“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

Vishant Reddy 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 Nadi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Tailevu Naitasiri watching Jonasa Ravukitiliva

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

Squad

A row about effort at Nadi

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

The dugout

Rocky Junior has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Nadi will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

Nadi out of the cup

Nadroga ended it 1‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

Nadi say no — this time

The offer from Nasinu for Setareki Bari 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 Nadi

Vishant Reddy 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.

Transfer targets

Nadi rebuffed over Neemish Prasad

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

Player ratings

Apisai Sesewa misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Epeli Begg on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 1‑1, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Squad

Aidan Malakai Singh 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.

Player ratings

Simione Seru was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Vishant Reddy

Nobody at Nadi is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
