Luke Gale?

Anyone else heard this rumour? I’d take Gale but would hate to lose either Tomkins or Escare

“...One rumour which does keep turning up is that Wigan could be ready to make an offer for newly crowned Steve Prescott Man of Steel Luke Gale, with their need for a recognised goal-kicker, and needing an able half-back to supplement his England teammate George Williams.
This could have some legs to it, but would Castleford possibly consider a swap deal, for Morgan Escare, or even Sam Tomkins? I don’t see Tomkins being allowed to leave the DW Stadium again, especially not to play for a Super League rival club, but Escare could quite easily be tempted, particularly if Tomkins is blocking his path to first team action.
It would all depend on how desperate the Warriors would be to get their hands on Gale, and whether Castleford would allow him to leave, although if you look at Daryl Powell’s record of replacing star players, there would be little doubt he could do it again if Gale were to leave, and Castleford would not exactly be short of players who would be willing to fill Gale’s boots for them.”
