The talented Dubbo side was on their way to Campbelltown yesterday afternoon and Robinson said her side was ready to go.
"As a team they're very sharp and quick," she said.
"The girls are tight in defence and really fast in attack so we're aiming for top five."
Robinson said her side fully expected the state titles to be of the highest standard but said her own side had gelled together well since beginning training in December.
"It's been about six months and they train for two hours on a Tuesday night and then play together on Wednesday nights in the indoor competition and they've also been doing strength and conditioning work so they've been together a lot," she said.
The majority of the side plays in the A-grade of the Rawson Homes Premiership with the likes of Grace Pilon and Ariah Yeo key players in their respective teams.
Despite the obvious talent in her side, Robinson is well aware of how skilled her opponents will be.
"There's a lot of Sydney and city teams, us and Orange are the only real teams from our area but we'll be ready, we're well prepared," she said.
The State Championships begin this morning with the final on Monday.
