Mark the Week: The Warriors are alive

Published: Sept. 14, 2023, 9:38 p.m.

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

\xa0

Polls: 7/10\xa0

They are in full flow now and provide an increasingly obvious view towards a change of Government.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Food: 3/10\xa0

Real proof that the dreamers who claim inflation is on its way to normality next year haven't bought kumara lately.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The PREFU: 2/10\xa0

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.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The Warriors: 6/10\xa0

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.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

The All Blacks: 6/10\xa0

Because a loss is bad but it\u2019s a long tournament and the final is the goal, not the first game.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

Novak Djokovic: 8/10\xa0

Must surely be close to being the greatest of all time now?\xa0

\xa0\xa0

King Charles: 7/10\xa0

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.\xa0

\xa0\xa0

David Seymour: 6/10\xa0

Still looks fresh, still has the one-liners but made a mistake with the confidence and supply threat and paid the price.\xa0\xa0
