I expected something like that.

Julien LaurensHost

0:10

Well done to you too.

Kelly SomersHost

And of course, I'm only joking because if you're listening to this as well and you didn't get in the 100 Club, do not worry.

Kelly SomersHost

But it's not often myself and Sam can brag.

Kelly SomersHost

We both got exactly the same number of points in the end, despite playing slightly different players.

Kelly SomersHost

0:24

But yeah, it was a good game week.

Kelly SomersHost

0:25

I think it was a good game week for a lot of players.

Kelly SomersHost
