Joeli Ranitu breaks a bone — 103 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 103 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A falling-out at Suva

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Suva rebuffed over Atunaisa Naucukidi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lautoka have kept their man, and Suva go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Dave Radrigai 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.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Suva ask about Apisai Sesewa

A loan enquiry to Nadi: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Suva ask about Shivneet Sami

A loan enquiry to Tailevu Naitasiri: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad10 Aug 2026

95 days out for Remueru Tekiate after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Suva will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Raneshwar Goundar asks to leave Suva

“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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Suva

Akuila Mateisuva 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

No deal for Samuela Nabenia at that price

Suva offered $3.0K; Rewa said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Saula Waqa

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Alipate Ravai steps up from the Suva academy

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Aporosa Verevou steps up from the Suva academy

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

Suva promote Peni Drudru from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Peni Drudru has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Peniasi Rotidara knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Peniasi Rotidara trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

102 days out for Remueru Tekiate after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Suva will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Simione Nabenu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Simione Nabenu and Suva agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Akuila Mateisuva 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 Suva this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Remueru Tekiate 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.

Still no ink between Suva and Kavaia Rawaqa

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

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Simione Nabenu's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
