Dickinson gets call and Wood makes squad

Prop Dickinson and outside back Wood replace forwards Shannon Wakeman and Sebastine Ikahihifo for the Super 8s clash at the Totally Wicked Stadium.

Gale, who was scrum-half in England’s 30-10 win over Samoa in May, has played a key role in Castleford’s historic season to date and broke the club’s record for points in a season in last Friday’s 38-24 win over Leeds.

The Tigers, who are 80 minutes away from a maiden Grand Final, have already won the league leaders’ shield - for the first time in the club’s 91-year history - and are favourites to go on and win the title.
