Market

Ashok Kumar hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Nasinu can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Maikah Dau stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Maikah Dau and Nasinu agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jonasa Ravukitiliva

Nasinu asked and Nadi said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A falling-out at Nasinu

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

Market

Rusiate Krishna steps up from the Nasinu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rusiate Krishna 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.

Market

Epeli Verevou steps up from the Nasinu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Epeli Verevou 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.

Market

Dave Goundar steps up from the Nasinu academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Dave Goundar 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.

Transfer targets

Nasinu try to borrow Sitiveni Kalounaiwai

Rewa have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

No hiding place for Lauren Bali

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

In brief

  • Squad Words at Nasinu training over how hard people work
  • The dugout Maikah Dau knocks on the manager’s door
  • Squad Anushil Prasad remains an outsider

Market

Nasoni Mereke puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Nasinu, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Waisake Navunigasau signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Waisake Navunigasau commits to Nasinu for another 2 years.

Squad

A row about effort at Nasinu

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Nasinu

Jone Naraba 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.

Market

Still no ink between Nasinu and Waisake Navunigasau

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Nasinu, another week without a signature from Waisake Navunigasau.

Squad

8 new faces, and Nasinu 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.

In brief
