So far though it has proved prophetic for Selkirk Rush, which has won its past four after dropping the first six games of the NBL1 women's women's NBL1 season.

Rush is fresh from two wins in a weekend doubleheader and will have an opportunity to add two more to the win column against Ringwood at the Minerdome on Saturday night and against Frankston at Frankston on Sunday.

Joyce said the team was really starting to click.

"Their team chemistry is building and they've got a great feel for each other," he said. "That takes time sometimes, and their coach has done a great job of keeping them together."

Two wins would put Rush in sight of the league's upper tier heading into the second half of the year.

Joyce said it had been great to watch the team turn its season around.

"I work with them, and they work as hard as the guys, so you want to see people get the reward, and carry that work through to get the reward," he said.

The Rush will go into the weekend fully healthy after being plagued by injuries early in the campaign.

Rush import Chanise Jenkins said she expected Ringwood to attack them early.

"We have the home court advantage so we want to male the most of that and focus on keying in on some of their players, and working on our game plan," she said.

Despite the slow start, Jenkins said play-offs were well-and-truly on the minds of the players.

"We're just going to take it one game at a time," she said.

"Every team in this league is good, and everyone is capable of beating anyone, so we're not taking anyone for granted and its important to play everyone true."

Rush will tip off against Ringwood Hawks at 6pm.
