Liberato Tuiloma damages knee ligaments — 79 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 79 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match18 Jun 2040

Every point is an argument now for Team Wellington

Position 5 and 13 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad18 Jun 2040

A fracture rules Dane Lockyer out for 17 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Team Wellington will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Liberato Tuiloma damages knee ligaments — 86 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 86 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

A fracture rules Dane Lockyer out for 24 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Team Wellington will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market11 Jun 2040

Auckland City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Team Wellington did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad11 Jun 2040

Michael Payne says Team Wellington went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Real improvement from Chris Singh at Team Wellington

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

Market11 Jun 2040

The clock does Marco De Vries’s negotiating for him

5 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Team Wellington could ask drops and the wages Marco De Vries can ask rise.

Liberato Tuiloma damages knee ligaments — 93 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 93 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom4 Jun 2040

Team Wellington put Owen McCowatt on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad4 Jun 2040

A fracture rules Dane Lockyer out for 31 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Team Wellington will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom4 Jun 2040

The Team Wellington board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Boardroom4 Jun 2040

The scrutiny sharpens at Team Wellington

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Team Wellington is running low.

Market4 Jun 2040

Team Wellington turn down Hawke's Bay United for Monty Boxall

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

Market4 Jun 2040

Kosta Singh attracts admirers

The name of Kosta Singh has come up in conversations Team Wellington were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad4 Jun 2040

Words at Team Wellington training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sam Payne 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.

Squad4 Jun 2040

Tempers go at Team Wellington

Liberato Tuiloma 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.

Dane Sutton damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match27 Feb 2040

Team Wellington are in real trouble now

Position 5, 13 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad27 Feb 2040

Callum Van Hattum breaks a bone — 84 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 84 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
