I may be wide of the mark so apologies if this is the case.However Im led to believe our new man is George Milton.Prop Forward.22 years old.Started with Leeds academy.Had a few clubs including Doncaster,York,Hull KR and a couple more.Finished off at Sheffield this season so Roger might know of him.

Hi, yes I know George very well. He came through the scholarship and academy at Leeds with my lad

Left Leeds to get more game time at Donny, did well and got signed by Hull KR. Struggled for game time there and ended last season on loan at Sheffield. I like him.

For those who have read Keith Seniors autobiography, George and my lad get mentioned in Keith's book, he coached them at Leeds under 15s and 16s, let's see if what Keith said turns out to be right

Confirmed in the T and A today. 2 year deal.
Sounds like a decent signing.

rlMilton signs on a 2 year dealrl

Seems to have good experience and should be a useful addition to the pack. Interesting he sees his best position as loose forward though, not prop although I'm sure he could play there, I'd hope we still sign a couple of experienced big props. Welcome aboard the rollercoaster George.

Yes, according to our wonderful website copywriter he has 'ounces of experience'

I'll weigh in with 'oodles' !

First line represented England as a LOSE forward, will fit in well then haha

Glasshouses,stones, people etc.

Steve you can't spoke proper

Can't spake.

Sounds like our recruitment drive is going well. Is Toovey staying or going do we know yet?

The cynic in me feels like the rug will get pulled from under our feet again soon though so refusing to indulge myself in optimism at this stage especially after last year's debacle.

Spellchecker wouldn't even be needed if the person writing the article had some grasp of the English language.

As far as Milton goes, hard to say if it's a good signing or not until we've seen him play so will reserve judgement until I have. Really hoping the next couple of signings are a bit older though, the squad is looking very young again. Great for long term, but not necessarily the short term.

Sort of agree about the checker. I'd assumed it was there to keep us on our toes, you know, so we HAD to go over it all again to check what typos it had added to our text. To be honest I can manage enough those to keep myself more than satiated - if only I could go through the book which came with the phone (there wasn't one - info is in all the files.....somewhere..) and learn how to turn it off, but I really just can't be bothered.

As for George, he sounds the part and, as in all things, time will tell. Like you, I'm still looking forward to the grizzled half man half bear sort of prop(s) we could do with. I can't imagine that the experienced guys at the club don't realise that though.

He looks a decent player especially at the level he will be playing thought he might have gotten a bit more playing time with us but we brought in more forwards so he went out on loan

Yeah, it's not a spelling issue, it's basic English. To speak about 'ounces' of experience is to suggest he has almost no experience at all, which - one assumes - is the exact opposite of what was intended.

Surely 'bags of experience' or even 'lots of experience' was what he was going for?

The 'lose forward' phrase is symptomatic of what one often sees on social media, where people simply can't distinguish between 'lose' and 'loose', or 'have' and 'of', or 'their' and 'there'.
