"They are very good at retaining ball and have genuine size on their side. So we will have to try and run them around a bit and hold onto the ball for long periods," he said.
He said his side should be a lot stronger compared to the team which stumbled in a shock loss against Rotoiti last weekend at Emery Park, with some players returning from injury and travel.
Stone said if his side defeated Tauranga tomorrow it would prove to his players they could beat anyone in the competition.
However, he said they would not be giving away "all their cards" during the match.
"We don't want to give away everything now and lose to them if we meet them again in the semis."
In other Baywide premier games tomorrow, Rotoiti travel to Opotiki, Greerton Marist host Paroa and Mount Maunganui host Rangataua.
Rotoiti will be high on confidence after defeating local rivals Whaka last weekend.
A win against Opotiki could see them join the hunt for a semifinals spot.
Te Puke Sports and Te Puna have elected to play their round 11 game tonight.
Division one (matches start at 2.45pm):
Marist St Michael's v Kahukura (Marist Park), Poroporo v Ruatoki (Tuhoe Park), Rangiuru v Katikati (Centennial Park), Waikite v Ngongotaha (Bellvue Road), Whakatane Marist v Te Teko (Rugby Park).
