Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Navua
Xolani Tshaka 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.
Match6 Mar 2027
Misaele Krishna the difference as Navua beat Nasinu
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Misaele Krishna. 1‑0 against Nasinu, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

8 new faces, and Navua are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Shofwaan Ali wants to come home
“I did not go to Nasinu to sit and watch. I want to come back to Navua and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.
Boardroom8 Mar 2027
No investment in the facilities at Navua
Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.
In brief
