Signed a new 1 year deal with us. Always liked him & thought he would make it in superleague. Struggled the last couple of years but with the new coaching set who knows.

Good luck to him

Don't see the point , he's not good enough and we got better youngsters

Is he the signing we have been told were making before the season starts or is he extra?

Presumaby an extra one. The other signing is due in January.

Yep so buy your passes before then on that promise

How [ivery[/i cynical of you.

A somewhat confusing signing but maybe made simply because whilst Gentle wants the youngsters to step up he simply cannot expect them to do that withougt actually seeing them play and train under his regime for a couple of months. Last chance saloon for Burnett anyway and after all he is English and young unlike a few of our forwards who are getting to the end of their careers.

When he first broke onto the scene I thought he was going to be a star, so lets hope that with good coaching he can fulfil some of that potential. At least if injuries bite you know theres someone there who is proven at this level that we can fall back on, rather than an untried youngster who may turn out to be out of their depth.

Joking aside no matter how much you talk this signing up you must be all dissapointed! He was deamed by loads on here as not good enough when the news broke he had been released

He'll be on a tenner a week so no worries. Still better than Jason Netherton

Good option, decent player with experience.

I always really rated Burnett when he made his breakthrough. Not kicked on as hoped but at 23 with 57 SL appearances under his belt and a more professional training environment, being homegrown, signing him as back-up on a one year deal is hardly a disaster warranting exclamation marks. Bless you for your concern though. How lovely.

There's a reason he was released: He wasn't good enough. He's now got a second chance to prove people wrong under a far better coach, better facilities/diet etc.

I'm not "disappointed" I'm not even surprised he's signed, I'm pleased he's another Hull lad to add to the squad/team if needed. He's got all the attributes to make the grade for me and he's another year older and wiser (super-league wise that is) than when here last. Maybe, just maybe.
