The dugout19 Jul 2027

William Valentine keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Nadi may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market19 Jul 2027

Simione Seru has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Nadi they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad19 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Nadi

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

Squad19 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Nadi

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

The dugout19 Jul 2027

No hiding place for Clivert Sam

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Clivert Sam, and the manager let it.

The dugout19 Jul 2027

Pauliasi Tulivou 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.

Market19 Jul 2027

The Rocky Junior story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Rocky Junior signs something — a contract at Nadi or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout19 Jul 2027

Leo Lesumai asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Loan watch19 Jul 2027

3 goals on loan for Jonasa Ravukitiliva

12 appearances at Lautoka and the goals keep coming. Nadi are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market8 Mar 2027

Aron Naicker has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Nadi they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Rocky Junior runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Eneriko Matau 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.

Boardroom8 Mar 2027

5 academy graduates step up at Nadi

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Christopher Kumar signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christopher Kumar commits to Nadi for another 2 years.

The terraces8 Mar 2027

Nadi supporters have found a favourite in Rocky Junior

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Rocky Junior 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.

Market8 Mar 2027

Christopher Ravai steps up from the Nadi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christopher Ravai 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.

Market8 Mar 2027

One of our own: Anare Sauturaga joins the Nadi first team

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

Market8 Mar 2027

Napolioni Drudru steps up from the Nadi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Napolioni Drudru 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.
