True enough, though unable to use the usual idioms seems to be a step beyond simple literacy. In fact, this inability with the stock phrases which pepper our daily communications suggest that, maybe, English isn't his first language.

A few years back when I was doing a French course, a guy I worked with was learning Spanish, on the internet, using a sort of reciprocal learning system whereby he would pair up with someone in Spain who was trying to learn English and they would 'correct' each others' work. This sounds excellent except that my workmate's English was at the kind of level we see all too often in places like Facebook and Twitter. I do wonder if the Bulls' internet guy learned his English the same way...

Clearly not many people know much about him as this thread ended up discussing the spelling issues rather than the player.

Phew! so I am not the only one to notice this anal propensity of the silver-self-suckers (oops spelling mistake, and alliteration alert) on this forum! Correct spelling wins games!!!

apologies Woollybully for overstating your case. But it was a moment worth waiting for.

I think that's been confessed by most. On the plus side, it's nice to see people not slating the signing just because we don't know much about him. I think in the last few years, people have learned that with players you know little about, wait and see how they play for us before you judge them.

Think Milton looks ok at U19 level judging by his video on you tube. He's a short stocky kid with a decent offload.

As Bullseye said, by all accounts he's not the biggest, but has a very good offload game.

Yes quite right hamsterchops.
We’ve got history of signing relatively unknown players (Paul brothers, big les, hape) so give Milton abit of leeway. Big lad with plenty of potential and YOUNG

Seriously ?

Henry Paul a relatively unknown ? and Les had played over 60 games for Canberra & was also an NZ international !!!

I agree about giving Milton a chance though.

As a Doncaster fan George was always solid and hard working. He could easily be playing in the championship regularly

I meant relatively unknown in this country.

Apart from in Wigan then ?

And Wakefield.

I do like the way we are signing players who are just at that age where they are still young enough to learn and build but have a few years experience - early twenties. We are putting a squad together that we can build rather than buying older ones looking for a final few years. We do need a handful of grizzly experienced lads though.
Hope Toovey brings back the next penguin and a couple of unknowns as good as Sironnen. That would help finish the squad off for me.

Yeah, agree Woolley. Many of our problems last season were caused by having too many kids in the team. The kids will be kicked around again if we don't have some blokes on the field who will prevent it. I'm not talking referees, by the way....
