Cheers mate. What kind of stats? I chucked a few in there about AJ's record and our record over them in recent years, unless you were talking about Reynolds and Hodkinson? In that case I probably should have haha.
Difference he's playing with a half decent team for this one
I'll take your word for it.

South Sydney hooker Robbie Farah part of 'Rabbitohs family' and wants to retain Origin jumper
An unburdened Robbie Farah has no plans to follow fellow NSW leader Paul Gallen into representative retirement after revealing he already feels a part of the "Rabbitohs family" as South Sydney plan a tribute before his 250th game on Saturday.
Stopping short of confirming he will set his sights on 300 NRL games – if Farah plays the majority of Rabbitohs' games for the remainder of his two-year deal he will be on the brink of the mark – the 33-year-old claims his football is free of distractions and body capable of soldiering on beyond a 16th top grade season at the end of 2018.
And there are no plans to surrender his NSW No.9 jumper despite Laurie Daley fast tracking the Blues' Gen Next when blooding seven rookies during last year's Origin series.
"First and foremost I've got to play good footy and give myself the best possible chance of being picked," Farah said. "Whilst Laurie and selectors think I'm the best choice I'd love to put my hand up again.
"The Origin jersey means a lot to me. It's something I love so much. As long as I'm playing good footy for the Rabbitohs I'd like to think I'm a chance."
Having had a self-confessed "shocker" at training during the week before the round two demolition of Manly, Farah is hoping his milestone match against the Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium will be a lot more memorable than previous ones.
There were discussions about Farah's 250th being played at Leichhardt Oval against the Tigers, but broadcasters wanted the match to be the Friday night feature of the opening round in which his old club tormented the Rabbitohs.
It was a game in which South Sydney lost captain Greg Inglis for the season, but Farah said he is relishing a role outside of the club's leadership group.
"The talks I had with Madge [coach Michael Maguire] before I came here [were along the lines], 'I just want to enjoy my footy, I want that to be my sole focus'," Farah said. "There's no secret in the past there's been a lot of distractions for me. That probably took away from my enjoyment of the game.
"For me from day one it's been head down to train hard and get the best out of my football. The club and Madge have provided that platform for me. I've really, really enjoyed it.
"I really feel like I'm apart of the Rabbitohs family already and I know they've got plans to make it a special milestone. I'm really taken aback by that. I've only been here for a short time, but for them to go out of their way shows the care they've got for me.
"I've always prided myself on my hard work and training ethic. When the day comes where I can't train hard or don't want to train hard then I will give it away. My whole career has been doing that extra bit of training to give myself that extra bit of edge."
Farah revealed he was stunned by the admissions of troubled ex-teammate Tim Simona, who has stayed in contact with the Rabbitohs hooker since being deregistered for gambling on opposition players, himself to score and against the Tigers in matches last year.
"He's a good friend and still is," Farah said. "I've had contact with him to make sure he's OK. It's not easy for someone to come out and admit the issues they have in their life, but he's been a man about it.
"He's owned up to his faults and as a friend we've just got to be there to support him and make sure he's OK and get himself back on track. That's all I wish for at the moment."
