He said they were relying on some solid defence his year and were looking forward to the challenge tomorrow.
"We've got a few systems in place, like a few of the other teams, and we are just taking a bit of pride in not letting sides cross our line," Stone said.
"It basically comes down to guys working hard defensively."
However, he said they would like to put a few more points on the board in attack.
"I think we've got a pretty good attacking team but the area we are working on is holding on to our ball and utilising it a bit better. If we do that, I think we've got as good a chance as anyone to score points."
Stone said, for example, they probably should have scored a few extra points against Opotiki last weekend but lost too much ball.
With more rain forecast for the weekend, Te Puke coach Craig Jeffries said his side would need to be on their toes.
In other games tomorrow, Greerton Marist will host Rotoiti in a match that sees both teams sharing a 2-2 win-loss record.
Te Puna will host Rangataua, Mount Maunganui host Opotiki, and undefeated Tauranga Sports visit Paroa.
No premier games are being played in Rotorua tomorrow.
