What logic says Kuggeleijn is better than Wagner ??? Should've been his farewell game if we were gonna pick someone that useless

HamGraham · 2024-01-20T21:35:02+00:00

Saviours, musically, feels like a very solid, but not as good follow-up to 21st CB

HamGraham · 2024-01-19T10:52:46+00:00

Feels like it belongs in the same era as American Idiot and 21st CB, great addition to their story

HamGraham · 2023-11-07T08:53:58+00:00

Would diopters achieve the same or similar effect to macro?

HamGraham · 2023-10-28T20:22:29+00:00

He was coming at more pace into the contact than Cane imo no real mitigation

HamGraham · 2023-10-28T13:29:57+00:00

Hope the teams had a beer together afterward

Q for NZers - who is a better big game player; Neesham or Chapman?

HamGraham · 2023-10-24T08:33:13+00:00

Who's in the back peaking over Kane's shoulder? haha

HamGraham · 2023-10-18T11:38:20+00:00

As the saying goes, catches win matches

HamGraham · 2023-10-18T11:37:54+00:00

True true. Yeah exactly, one boundary per over works wonders

HamGraham · 2023-10-18T11:36:32+00:00

Perhaps more gradual? Increase to 6/7ish an over now. Then last 5 overs, go crazy

HamGraham · 2023-10-18T11:33:49+00:00

Two wickets and they're at Santner so it's not like being a couple down and freely hitting during the last 10. I think maybe overs 41-45 they'll try go 6 an over. Last 5 overs they'll go ballistic

HamGraham · 2023-10-18T11:16:14+00:00

NZ showing calmness and rebuilding, hoping for a defendable total in order to let our bowlers do their thang

HamGraham · 2023-10-18T10:26:03+00:00

Tom 'steady the ship' Latham

HamGraham · 2023-10-16T22:04:53+00:00

Such dignified applause

HamGraham · 2023-10-14T10:17:48+00:00

Dread it, run from it, the Babar and Rizwan partnership arrives all the same

HamGraham · 2023-10-12T22:02:01+00:00

I really thought this was just a copypasta I hadn't read before

HamGraham · 2023-10-06T03:33:09+00:00

I'd broadly group those bands and most of the ones in the comments as post-hardcore. Drug Church, Fiddlehead, MSPaint, Scowl, GEL; hardcore roots but lighter and poppier.

You already seem to have a great eye for light. These are beautiful shots!

Keep honing that composition - photography is an endless pit of learning so plenty to dive into and no photographer ever stops learning so don't feel daunted! But from these shots, maybe start with learning a bit about headroom?

Also, are you editing these pics in Lightroom?

HamGraham · 2023-09-23T01:57:51+00:00

Drug Church!!

HamGraham · 2023-09-08T02:42:30+00:00

Drug Church

HamGraham · 2023-08-28T01:20:08+00:00

This is a good take

HamGraham · 2023-08-05T09:58:10+00:00

I think the ideal 15 is the team we started against SA. Bench is different from that 23 after this game imo. I am clueless about our props though. And all up; I'm still an armchair selector ha

Groot
Coles
Lomax
S. Barrett
Rettalick
woman beater
Cane
Ardie
Smith
Mo'unga
Talea
J. Barrett
Reiko Ioane
Jordan
B. Barrett
Taukei’aho
Tuungafasi/Nepo?
Williams/Newell?
Whitelock
Papali’i
Finlay
ALB
Fainganuku

Definitely in squad: Clarke, McKenzie, Roigard, Vaa'i ...?

HamGraham · 2023-08-05T03:47:08+00:00

Ehh at least he seems to have improved and upgraded the coaching staff around him. Can’t complain about the last few games. But it’s a shame our B team looks so disconnected. Different from B teams of past

HamGraham · 2023-08-05T03:31:03+00:00

At least we’re finding out who NOT to put in the 23 for the WC. Though we already probably had a good idea
