That means the pots are back with LabBrokes. It's my favorite feature on the Lab Brokes app, mates mode, get in the pots, get in there together, chuck twenty-five bucks in and see if Jimmy can find us some winners. Uh you did a good job on the weekend, mate, and the pots are live now. So if you want to jump in, it's twenty five dollar buy-in, you go to the buy around uh group in mates mode and jump on.
Yeah, that's pretty simple doing. And then just get stuck into the chat. Let me know where I should focus the attention. A couple of close ones last week with Adam Fanua Blake, first try scorer. We know how close that was. I did get tained to a picky for first try in that Warriors game, also. I think we did get up as well, which is absolutely fantastic. So only available on LabRos and Mates mode.
