He isn't a massive signing but he certainly helps improve our squad depth from last year which will help a great deal.

A hull lad in a hull shirt whats not to like?

is that all we want, so long as they're all Hull lads in a Hull shirt eh, no matter that he's crap and nobody else wanted him.

McRae's recruitment for Hull has been as poor as his recruitment for Salford.

bring on 2013!

Keep going

Personally i think its a good signing,

TBF to Burnett, he hasnt had, the greatest tuition in his career to date,
i.e Agar and Powell.

Lets see how he progresses under Gentle, interesting if he improves.

Possibly due to work permit and visa ,that will take 5 or 6 weeks approx.

We all know who you have signed-mediocre players

Like others have said, not bothered if he stayed or went, looked like he could have been a good SL player, but for whatever reason it didn't happen, maybe he has been training with the club in the last week and Gentle has been impressed, hopefully the new coaching team can improve his game and he can become a good player.

With him signing I don't see the point in Aspinwall though, gives us more depth, but that's what i want to see the young lads being.

wonder if mcrae and gentle enjoyed breckie the other day

The only thing I can think, is that they are going to wait until a fuller assessment of players, after a bit of pre-season to see were best to spend.

Garbage signing

Strange one but I imagine he will be on very little and Gentle might be able to get something extra out of him.

If he adds competiton for places and improves under the new regime then I am happy.

Depends on where and who with mate????????

Depth signing, after the first 17 the rest of our squad is:

19. Jordan Turner,20. Jamie Ellis,21.Reece Lyne,22. Martin Aspinwall,23.Ben Crooks, 24. Liam Kent, 25.Liam Cunningham,26. Jack Briscoe,27.Chris Green,28.Danny Nicklas,29. Laurence Pearce,30.Josh Bowden,31.James Cunningham,32. Lewis Brown

The only forward with any experience is Aspinwall (and they have Whiting in the 17 as a forward), it won't take many injuries until we have to use the kids. I want to see the kids introduced but if I was the coach I would want it under my terms, not forced into it in round 1 because of a couple of injuries in the friendlies.

agree, clutching at straws, Gentle must have seen something in him, wasnt good enough 1st time around, cant see whats changed tbh, always thought he looked well out his depth in the 1st team.

I seem to remember craig fitzgibbon saying he was very impressed with him and expected him to become a really good player, and wasnt peter gentle going to meet up with fitzy a few weeks ago to get his opinion on the club and players so he may have had a bit of input.

Fitz knows nowt.

Fitz is God,end off

when Fitz first arrived he said he thought Burnett had the potential to become an international. Something has not worked out for him

He runs good lines i think, maybe it has been a combination of poor service from the halves and his lack of bulk that has not seen him stand out. Give him a chance i say

He's young, club trained and was showing promise till Agar got his oar in so signing him on a low wage with a last chance to impress seems like a win win for both parties.

Wakey ,wakey!
