Taken from League Express;
Disappointing news for Castleford Tigers fans in this weeks newspaper, with a big update on the fitness of star man Luke Gale.
With a quote from someone within the club saying, ‘It looks like it may well be at the start of the season when he’s good to go’.
I know he's back in light training, so looks like he's going to miss the grunt of pre season.

having a fit Luke Gale will be like having a new player , we coped well last year in is absence Luke missing quiet a chunk of the season, any team would have missed him the way he was playing before his injury , on the flip side it gave Trueman his chance with which he took with both hands , I believe Cas will be among the front runners again next season

Shame him and Trueman couldn't get a pre season together. That link up with them 2 and Mata'tiua next year are going to cause some damage.

ZAK is history , I must agree he was a special talent, but our new full back is no slouch in the few games he played I thought he performed well, that was without the man of steel making the breaks get Jake Trueman Luke Gale and him on the field together we will see some great try's

Maybe think they will be close to try line Pete as no pace more pure power. no spectacular full length am affraid in less eden gets clear run but he needs a good centre at side off him .

You only get 4 points wether you score from 1 yard or a 100 yards. This is a very different side to the one of 2017 but it might be one that's better suited to the slog of the play offs. Time will tell but I believe we are in a far better state than we were 12 months ago.

Intresting you say this team suited for play offs is it not same team just about. That dint score a point in this years top play offs. 2017 was miles better balanced side .We would recruit if dint how money to fultons and have sold old ground but cant spend what u have not.

Yes the same team that got nilled minus it's best forward "moors" an half back whilst the other played on one leg,we were down to our final 17 blokes and 4/5 of those wouldn't have played had anyone else been available. You also have to say Wigans defence was superb as they showed the following week only allowing Warrington a solitary try.

Good point brayton but could be still playing now and still wunt have scored . had that to three hours traveling to get there night best forgotten. I think the 2017 team and zak had not let us down would have beaten wigan that night no doubt so to say 2018 fully fit was better then 2017 team think your way off the mark old boy.

At what point did I say it was better? I said it was a very different team that could be better suited if you like to the grind of play off games. The last two league leaders ourselves and saints blew the leagues apart scoring for fun but its brutal defence and toughness that wins the day come Old Trafford in October.
I wouldn't swap our 2017 league leaders shield but given the choice now I'd sooner grind out a grand final win than run away with the league but fail when it matters.
