The only current forwards I can think of who are ahead at this stage are Franklin, Walker, Stringer and Dixon. Decent company to be along side, especially given those ahead have played in sides with far better delivery and support, as well as Dixon being a year older than Joe currently is when he debuted.
Daniher being in his 5th year, I had a look at Lloyd's numbers to see how he was going at Joe's stage..
Round 3 into Lloyd's 5th year (1999), is when he kicked 13 against Sydney.
