Mark the Week: What he did in America will never be recognised by the likes of the Halbergs

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.

 

Sam Cane: 6/10

Tricky call this. No, he shouldn’t have done it. But, then having done it I don’t think anyone would begrudge him sending a message to an idiot. But then the mistake was the apology and the All Blacks gear. When the All Blacks are out-woking the woke, the world is upside down.

 

The Warriors: 8/10

That Parramatta Eels thrashing is as good as a turmeric shot and olive leaf extract in winter.

 

Te Huia: 2/10

In all honesty, pull the pin. It loses money, it's slower than a car, no one uses it and it can't stop at red lights.

 

The back up plane for the Prime Minister: 2/10

BS of the week part one. "Nothing to see here, we do it all the time." Oh, whoops, no we don’t.

 

RATs: 2/10

BS of the week part two. We first don’t know where they are, oh wait, yes we do and a lot of them are no longer of any use. By the way, it cost half a billion dollars for nothing. Then they go and defend it!

 

Wine: 8/10

$2.3 billion in income to the country. I'll drink to that.

 

Shane van Gisbergen: 9/10

What he did in America will never be recognised by the likes of a Halberg. But it really was that good.

 

Threads: 7/10

At 100 million members and growing you can't say it isn't a successful start-up.
