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. 

Signalgate: 1/10 

A good sign of how mad and dopey that lot are. A platform they shouldn't have been on, a denial that got blown out of the water, and an attack campaign that made them look pathetic. 

The Warriors: 7/10 

Not just two wins in a row, but two very good wins in a row - and a third on Sunday with the Tigers. 

Liam Lawson: 2/10 

Yes, it's sport and, yes, it's tough. But this is at the hard end of hard calls, that line between dream lived, and shattered. 

Whangarei council: 1/10 

They got hung up on fluoride, wasted any amount of time arguing about it, went to court with no money, and no budget, and lost and got pasted by the judge. Awesome work guys! 

Lindsay McKenzie: 6/10 

He's Wellington's Crown observer, who thinks the local body law should be changed so we get better qualified people to represent us. Give that man a medal. 

Tamatha Paul: 2/10 

Yes, the Greens are nuts. But Labour wants to run the country with them.
