"Henwood Park are always a good attacking side," he said.
"It's a close league this year so you have got to treat your opposition with respect and get the job done."
South Wagga have flown a bit under the radar so far this season however have only lost the two games to Tolland and Hanwood.
They have also been the only team to score against ladder leaders Hanwood with Heller therefore believing that his side deserves their top four position.
"I think our performances so far warrant staying in the top four," he said.
"We have only lost twice all season and we have drawn two games within the last minute.
"We have had to work so hard to get there, now it is just a case of staying there."
Henwood Park has been one of the highest scoring teams so far this Pascoe Cup season but they have also had quite a few goals scored against them.
Heading into round 11, only Cootamundra have more goals scored against them, and Heller is hoping that his backline would stay strong against an attacking Hawks forward line.
"Whenever you play Henwood Park they have always got a strong forward line," he said.
"But they have also let in a few goals this season.
"We haven't been letting in a lot of goals and have been scoring plenty.
"If we just stick to our game plan, we would hope that we can take the three points."
South Wagga has been boosted by the great form of striker Nick Forsyth as well as the return of captain Luke Nichols, whose leadership has been a welcome addition for the Warriors side.
"We are pretty much at full strength in first grade," Heller said.
"We have got players all over the park who have been fantastic.
"We have struggled to get a consistent eleven out there, but every week we have put a first grade quality side out."
