I don't actually know of any of their music, but... as they are apparently quite popular, I assume I've been hearing them all the fucking time
Same - so I did some research
The biggest band in New Zealand history are doing everything wrong
Six60 are as much a business as a band, and have broken every rule in music on their way to historically unprecedented success, writes lapsed music critic and Six60 hater Duncan Greive.
They don't sound particularly up themselves - just really lucky. Mind you article is 4 years old
I did further research and yes I do recognise the two I played (first 30 seconds of). Sounds like what's playing in the supermarket when I go shopping. Bland as an art form.
I agree with @MN5 - they are boring as fuck - and laughing all the way to the bank.
They can’t be the biggest band in NZ history.
Surely not.
That’s what I thought when arriving back from overseas. They sell out big stadiums ffs!

Monster.

It depends if they're hot, if hot I agree. I assume you're meaning at the buffet breakfast?
Similarly, I like plane food, I always just wish there is more of it.

Oh, yeah. “we love Wags”
Fuck off.
He's a flat track bully constantly bowling bodyline at tailenders.
Since when did we countenance that?
I get that he “puts his heart into it”, “plays his guts out”, etc, etc..
But he plays like a fluffybunny. And I don't think he represents either NZ, nor the facile “Play hard but play fair” ethos we've adopted.
Hypocritical as fuck.
Too drunk to debate this tonight. Or ever. Happy to watch the shitstorm though... -
@MajorRage I rarely eat breakfast, but been away at conference last week and had the hotel buffet every morning, with said scrambled eggs.

Even though I just did
Even just ‘liking’ Wags is worthy of a ban on here.

Bit of a general statement but I can run with that. Sometimes it’s all about timing.
By timing I don’t mean the eggs but arriving at them at the same time as the hot chick that you spotted walking in.I think we all know MR isn't staying at the Premier Inn.

If he played for any other team, we'd be abusing him as a dirty fluffybunny.
I genuinely don't like him representing my country. Not Richard Loe levels, but... still. -
Wags bowls like a slightly quicker Craig Macmillan

This may not be a hot take, but I can't be fucked finding the netball thread.
What a stupid sport it is. I can actually handle watching it, but I have to block out the fact that the rules are just completely idiotic. They took a great game in basketball, and decided they'd impose a heap of stupid rules (contact on the ball, wtf???) to invent a new female-friendly game. For what? Daft.
-
@voodoo played it? Great fun to play, especially indoor, 6 a side. I'm too unco to bounce a ball but can throw, jump and run.
Contact on the ball makes complete sense, otherwise everyone just whacks the ball out of everyone else's hands and you don't have a game.
Maybe for you it's just that basketball is rugby league and netball is rugby union.
-
Personally think netball is the ultimate team sport.
Only 2 players get to defend the goal, there are limited other defenders, and there are limited attackers, and only two can actually score.
You've got to trust your team mates to do their job.
Hate watching it though.

I have played it, only mixed, but a few seasons. Why on earth shouldn't you be allowed to whack the ball out of someone's hand if you dont touch the player? It's so stupid.
But that's just one dumb rule. Why don't we allow a defender to go forward if they want? Why can't a wing attack take a shot?
Should also be allowed to dribble the ball, set screens, and dunk it

It’s a great sport to play.
That may be another unpopular opinion ….

I'm sure it's not my best. I'm ok if you hold back a like. I'll do better next time (maybe)
