When the side went away from that is resulted in the only loss suffered this season.
The Goannas got back towards the best in last weekend's final round win over the Panorama Platypi and now face Woodbridge Cup in Sunday's all-or-nothing semi-final.
"They're very aggressive in attack and we need to be able to match that," Woodbridge captain Nikita Campbell said.
"We've got the talent and the structure but we just need to get momentum and aggression."
"We know we have the ability to beat them. We've got faith in ourselves. We're a family and as long as we believe in one and other, we can do.
"We also need to make sure we have a good start as well."
Campbell will be out to set the tone against a powerful Goannas forward pack featuring the likes of captain Amy Townsend, Bec Smyth, Alahna Ryan, and Kaitlyn Andrews.
And while Woodbridge are yet to beat Goannas in an open-age match in the WWRL, Campbell knows the unity within her squad stands it in good stead.
In the weekend's other semi, unbeaten minor premiers Orange Vipers take on the Panorama Platypi.
While the Platypi know the Vipers are a quality outfit and are hot favourites to win Saturday's sudden-death match at Mudgee, that only fuels their desire to spring an upset.
Platypi coach Kevin Grimshaw is hoping that desire to win, the raw talent he has within his squad, plus a bit of luck can see that happen.
"I know it's a big task, but if we get a bit of luck go our way we might shock them," he said.
"The pressure is on them, we are going in with no expectations, but we are going in to give it a crack.
"We haven't thrown our hands in the air. These girls they won't die wondering, let's put it that way. They won't go into their shells thinking 'We're the underdogs, we're going to get beaten'."
