Assistant coach Jacob Chance said the NBL's newest franchise was eager to get into competitive action after weeks of training.

"Just excited to play someone else, I think we're getting to that point where we are sick of playing each other a little bit, hopefully, we're playing against some teams in the next couple of weeks which will be fun," he said.

Chance tipped that most of the squad would see court time as they fine-tune ahead of the proper season launch in December.

"I think early we'll be pretty conservative, all guys will all get a bit of a crack, we're brand new so we don't know what works yet and what's proven I guess with the game happening and who can stand up in those moments," he said.

"We'll find out pretty quick but these first couple of games we'll just tinker with some things and hopefully by the back end of the Blitz we'll have a better idea of where we are at."

"Will's first day back on track today with some contact stuff which is really exciting, everyone is healthy which is the most important thing but yeah coming together, spending a lot of time together on and off the court," Chance said.
