Mark the Week: The Warriors are alive

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.    Polls: 7/10  They are in full flow now and provide an increasingly obvious view towards a change of Government.     Food: 3/10  Real proof that the dreamers who claim inflation is on its way to normality next year haven't bought kumara lately.     The PREFU: 2/10  By the time you look at the debt, the cost of servicing the debt, the stickiness of inflation and the extra spending it is a good insight as to why the polls are the way they are. Talk about wrecking the joint.     The Warriors: 6/10  Because they are still alive and Shaun Johnson is back, but it needs to be a lot better than last week and a shite load better than the week before.     The All Blacks: 6/10  Because a loss is bad but it’s a long tournament and the final is the goal, not the first game.     Novak Djokovic: 8/10  Must surely be close to being the greatest of all time now?     King Charles: 7/10  One year in and the poll this week showed he is a steady hand and Britain at least has no desire whatsoever to be a republic.     David Seymour: 6/10  Still looks fresh, still has the one-liners but made a mistake with the confidence and supply threat and paid the price.     LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
