George Milton : Fri Oct 20, 2017 3:06 am  

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.

Milton signs on a 2 year deal 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.

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.
