Mark the Week: What Shane van Gisbergen did in Nascar will never be recognised by the likes of the Halberg Awards

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

Sam Cane: 6/10

Tricky call this. No, he shouldn\u2019t have done it. But, then having done it I don\u2019t 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.

\xa0

The Warriors: 8/10

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

\xa0

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.

\xa0

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\u2019t.

\xa0

RATs: 2/10

BS of the week part two. We first don\u2019t 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!

\xa0

Wine: 8/10

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

\xa0

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.

\xa0

Threads: 7/10

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