As we look forward to the start of the season today we can all dream of realistic performance goals for the mighty Wolves. Some are not in our control but others are realistic.

Having reviewed the Top 20 performances for the club (since records were collected) six goals seem attainable:

Bob will reach 2000 points

Sniffle will move ever closer to being clubs most prolific try scorer

Laurence James will enter Top 10

The Skipper a season short of 100 appearances

An Ex-Skipper a season short of 200 appearances

Half a dozen players a season short

However as our records move forward some members records fade. Laurence James points scoring over the last two seasons has propelled him into the top 20 for tries and points. This means Chris Campbell has moved out of the top 20 point scorers and former skipper Steve Braddock has been relegated from top 20 try scorers. Knowing the competitive nature of these former Wolves stalwarts we may well see them trying a come back!
