At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The Warriors: 7/10 Just can't stop winning. Big changes this week but does that stop it being eight in a row? I don’t think so. Because this is our year.
The All Blacks: 3/10 Inexplicable. But that’s the real issue, when you can be that good and then that bad.
National and tax: 7/10 Innovative, popular and basically delivers what they said they would. Policy of the week.
Liam Lawson: 9/10 Story of the week. In many respects he was tossed into a cauldron, in a way no one ever has been, and didn’t sink. Not only did he not sink, but he put up a result that, if backed up this weekend, is going to go an awful long way to cementing a full time gig next year.
Coalitions: 4/10 National is still playing silly buggers with New Zealand First and it's going to bite them. I don’t get it.
Fees free: 7/10 ACT getting rid of it is the third best policy of the week. It's ideological mumbo jumbo that never worked and wasted money.
David Parker: 4/10 Shhhh, he might still be asleep. 5:45pm at night is too late to ask if hes around the next morning, 13 hours later for an interview? #asleepatthewheel #givenup #laughingstockoftheweek #toomanyhashtags.
