The New Zealanders are on a 33-game winning streak and have won their last four tournaments, including the Rugby World Cup Sevens and the Commonwealth Games.
QUICK TAP: MICHAELA BLYDE CROWNED WORLD SEVENS PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Goss, who had been at the World Rugby Awards in Monaco, said after joining the team that there was such a good bond at the moment and they felt so close.
"We call each other sisters, that's what we feel like and that's what we are.
"A lot of us hang out with each other back home and are good friends and I think that close bond helps make this a special team," she told worldrugby.com.
That togetherness was reflected on the field with the way combinations worked.
Accompanying Goss to Monaco was double player of the year winner Michaela Blyde. Portia Woodman was also nominated.
Goss said Blyde had been awesome.
"To be able to watch her grow as a player, as a teammate and as a person has been really special," she said.
Blyde goes into the Dubai tournament needing four more tries to become the second New Zealander to score 100 tries, and the fifth in the series history.
"She is definitely going to score 100 tries. If she doesn't, there is something wrong," Goss said.
Helping the side's preparation is the memory of their disappointing performance in last year's Dubai tournament.

"We have done a lot of work and obviously we've had success in Colorado [World Cup] and to be able to build on that in the next few days will be massive for us."
The side will also be looking to compensate for the loss of one of its most dangerous attacking forces Woodman who ruptured her Achilles tendon at training earlier in the month.
As they prepare to open their campaign against Kenya, Goss said Woodman's loss was a massive blow but it was also an opportunity for another player to stand up.
"They are going to get a lot more game time than they probably would have got if she was around and I have full faith in whoever comes in.
"We have got the likes of Alena Saili, I've seen her play a lot of tournaments for us, while Shakira Baker brings a huge dynamic for us and there's also Stacey Waaka who is coming off a successful 15s campaign.
"All three of them are really different but bring a lot to our team," she said.
The side has four changes from that which played in Dubai 12 months ago. Making her debut is Risi Pouri-Lane, the 77th Black Fern who led New Zealand to a gold medal at the Youth Olympic Games last month in Buenos Aires.
