Squad10 Dec 2029

A fracture rules Samir Hussain out for 55 days

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

Match10 Dec 2029

Nadi up to position 3

32 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Words exchanged at Nadi

Will Kennedy and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom10 Dec 2029

Nadi counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Nadi now.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Tuiba Batiratu 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.

The dugout10 Dec 2029

When it matters, Rocky Junior plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout10 Dec 2029

No hiding place for Sitiveni Baledrokadroka

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

Market10 Dec 2029

Eneriko Matau linked with a move away

The name of Eneriko Matau keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Nadi say nothing, which says plenty.

Market10 Dec 2029

Nadi put Milai Perrot up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Milai Perrot may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Match3 Mar 2029

Rocky Junior wins it after the whistle should have gone

91 minutes played. Rocky Junior found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Suva went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market5 Mar 2029

Clivert Sam 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.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Tuiba Batiratu signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Tuiba Batiratu and Nadi agree another 4 years.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Rocky Junior 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.

Boardroom5 Mar 2029

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.

Match3 Mar 2029

Nadi make home a hard place to visit

9 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match3 Mar 2029

Nadi find a way past Suva

Suva made Nadi work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad5 Mar 2029

A row about effort at Nadi

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

The terraces5 Mar 2029

The crowd has taken to Shofwaan Ali

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief
