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.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0\\xa0

\\n

The Warriors: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

Just can\'t stop winning. Big changes this week but does that stop it being eight in a row? I don\\u2019t think so. Because this is our year.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

The All Blacks: 3/10\\xa0

\\n

Inexplicable. But that\\u2019s the real issue, when you can be that good and then that bad.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

National and tax: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

Innovative, popular and basically delivers what they said they would. Policy of the week.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0

\\n

Liam Lawson: 9/10\\xa0

\\n

Story of the week. In many respects he was tossed into a cauldron, in a way no one ever has been, and didn\\u2019t 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.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

Coalitions: 4/10\\xa0

\\n

National is still playing silly buggers with New Zealand First and it\'s going to bite them. I don\\u2019t get it.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

Fees free: 7/10\\xa0

\\n

ACT getting rid of it is the third best policy of the week. It\'s ideological mumbo jumbo that never worked and wasted money.\\xa0

\\n

\\xa0
\\xa0

\\n

David Parker: 4/10\\xa0

\\n

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.\\xa0\\xa0
