Every Friday morning, Mike Hosking takes you through the big ticket items of the week and lets you know what he makes of it all.

Spark Sport and the Cricket Rights.  

8/10.

"If you didn’t take them seriously before, now is the time to start.

And it's another bad day at the office for Sky."

Iain Lees-Galloway

2/10.

"A miserable failure on Sroubek. But what makes it worse is he won't own it.

The report tells you all you need to know and still he won't mea culpa.

Man up mate."

• Simon Bridges taking hard-line approach to gangs

City Rail Link and the Compensation.

1/10.

"This has the sniff of a scandal. It's certainly a cluster with what seems like no small amount of dishonesty.

The Prime Minister seems to have misled us, Phil Twyford seems to have misled us, and the CRL won't talk.

Why? This ain't over."

Simon Bridges.

7/10.

"Yes, he can actually sing, but it also shows a side that endears.

I predicted earlier this year that by December we'll be seeing him in a whole different light.

I think I'll be collecting on my own bet."

Extinction Rebellion.

0/10.

"What was achieved? What changed? What got solved? Nothing.

The only winners were people who sell glue."

Rabobank Moving to Hamilton.

7/10.

"No, it's not for everyone. But not everyone has to live in Auckland."

The All Blacks.

9/10.

"They've looked about as good as they could, all things considered, and perhaps excusing that first half this week.

But I still haven't seen anything to beat them, and that includes England."
