Wakefield Trinity 'unbeatable' when we're on, warns Caius Faatili
Caius Faatili has delivered a bold warning to Wakefield Trinity's Super League rivals, insisting Daryl Powell's high-flying side are "unbeatable" when they hit top gear.
Trinity sit fourth heading into Magic Weekend, leaving the club on course for their highest top-flight finish of the summer era.
Wakefield are just 18 months into their second spell back in Super League but there is no shortage of confidence at Belle Vue.
Faatili believes Trinity's rise is far from complete.
"We're a team that is still growing," he said.
"There's been an awesome buzz around Wakey since I got here. We've got to take our hats off to our owners. Matty (Ellis) has done so much for the club, putting money into the facilities and even the players.
"We're pretty happy to be in the top four at the moment. It's been a bit of a rocky start to the season but if we can find some form coming into these later rounds, we'll be tough to handle come the finals.
"We're confident that we can beat any team on our day. It's just getting up for those big games.


"We haven't really had our best game yet where everyone is on. When we're on, we're unbeatable.
"As a club and a team, we're really looking forward to putting other teams to the sword. We're just going up and up."
Faatili watched from the sidelines as Wakefield were pushed all the way by Huddersfield Giants last weekend.
After an anxious afternoon as a spectator, the prop is poised to return against Castleford Tigers in Liverpool on Sunday.


“My ankle had been playing up for about a month so they just gave me a wee rest," he explained.
"They were probably expecting a little bit of an easy win but Huddersfield really brought it to us.
"It was a struggle to watch. I was getting a bit of itchy feet. I had the boots on ready to go!
"We struggled a bit but it was good to get the win."


Faatili was the star of the show in Wakefield's Magic Weekend win over Castleford last year, scoring two tries in a breakout performance.
The Kiwi lit up the St James' Park event with a lung-busting 70-metre effort that defied his status as a front-rower.
Faatili is targeting a repeat showing as Super League heads to Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time.
"I hope so," he said with a smile.
"I've been asked about that try a lot and never really have an answer. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. I got into a bit of space and did the right things, I guess.
"That's definitely a highlight for me since I moved over here, especially seeing all the Wakey fans behind the posts ready to celebrate. It was awesome.
"I'm always excited to play but Magic Weekend is extra special."
