Playing Record in NSWRL Competitions

Second Tier

The Wolves received an enormous boost in July 2007 as they signed a deal with the Penrith Panthers to act as a feeder club for them in the NSW Cup for three seasons. This was a great achievement for the small club and meant that they participated in one of two competitions that sit immediately below the National Rugby League. The deal was extended, but ended at the conclusion of the 2013 season.
