They've stunned the competition through the first two rounds, but Wolves coach Luke Wilkshire insists he's not surprised by his squad's red-hot start to 2019.

Wollongong followed up an impressive round one display against Manly United with a dominant 3-0 victory over APIA Leichhardt Tigers on Sunday afternoon. It helped them jump two points clear at the top of the NSW National Premier League Men's 1.
"That win on Sunday gives us confidence but it's nothing we didn't have going into the season anyway," Wilkshire said.
"For a lot of people, a few of the players would have been a bit of an unknown, but that's not what I know. I know they have the ability and they were bringing that throughout the preseason."
The Wolves rampant early form has coincided with huge changes to the club's first grade squad in the off-season. Their starting eleven through the first two rounds was almost completely different from 12 months ago, with goalkeeper Justin Pasfield the only remaining starter.
It has provided several of the club's new additions with a chance to make a name for themselves.
Ex-Canberra FC striker Thomas James has taken that opportunity, scoring on debut and then a hat-trick against APIA, while former Corrimal Rangers weapon Takeru Okada has been outstanding. Both have been named in the competition's team of the week twice, but are far from the only contributors to a devastating start to the campaign.
The Wolves back-four, marshalled by experienced centre half Nick Littler, have also been in top form.
Wilkshire believes it's a testament to the strength of Wollongong's squad.
"We've got a squad of 20 players and believe me it is not easy to select who is going to play," he said.
"The guys who are starting at the moment have been doing well but they have to perform to stay in there.
"Everyone is aware of that but we are a close knit group."
The Wolves face another difficult road trip to take on Sydney United 58 in round three. Injury will prevent ex-striker Peter Simonoski from playing, however Josh MacDonald has recently linked up with the club.
