The Fords travel to Salford on Saturday afternoon in Round 19 of Super League!
It's three on the bounce for Craig Lingard and Cas in Super League, an away trip to Salford could be another tough test.
The sides have met twice so far in 2024 with both sides taking the points at home.
Lingard on Salford
" We know how good we can be, we've beaten two top six teams in our last three games."
"Having that confidence that we can go out there and play is key, we've got to be at least 85% of our potential against Salford to get a result."
Opposition View
Salford currently in incredible form mainly due to their marque man Sneyd will prove to be tough opponents. Winning 4 games out of 5 they're hoping to climb up the super league table. Having played Castleford twice already with results going each way it will be a great decider for the 2024 season.

Then in 2022 Cross finally got a Super League move to the Salford Red Devils where he's been a standout performer in the competition ever since.
Kallum Watkins
