Mark the Week: I'm still a believer in the Warriors

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. 

 

August: 6/10 

Is it just me or is this year moving at pace? Where did seven months go? 

 

The recovery: 4/10 

Yes, by August the recovery was supposed to be here. The greens shoots were to have flourished, and stuff was supposed to be better. 

 

The payWave charge ban: 6/10 

Not perfect, but a practical move that should help. 

 

Rob Penney: 7/10 

Glad he is back, and why not? One bad year and one great year. You want another dose of great, don't you? 

 

Shane Jones: 8/10 

Move of the week. Had a couple of glasses of red, turned his phone off, and missed the alerts. Now that is a plan. 

 

The Warriors: 7/10 

A loss to the Titans and we lose James Fisher-Harris for a couple of weeks as well. If you are a doubter there is a bit of material for you to angst over. But I'm still a believer and this is our year.

tariff is imposed by Donald Trumpez of today. Enjoy every
one of them. Yes, speaking of which August six it
just me or is this you moving at pace? I mean?
Where did seven months ago are the recovery? For? Yes,
by August the recovery was supposed to be here. The
green shoots were supposed to have flourished. Stuff was supposed

(00:21):
to be better. Ah, pay wave charge ban six not perfect,
but a tactical move that should help building supplies six
not perfect, but a house should be cheaper here we
bank six half a billion might help. But don't hold
your breath if those of us who say the competition
between banks already exists, all it might end up doing
is showing the willis theory as a nicoler is a theory.

lending and record amount of switching going on in June.

enraged you have been doing so? Who are now withholding? Eight?

or what government board fees? Four? I mean a classic
example of no matter how logical it was, it was
always going to have image issues, wasn't it? Road cone
funding seven? More stick than carrot? And that's exactly what
councils need. Publishing of council stats yesterday on spending six,
more pressure from central government exactly what councils need. Are
