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.

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.

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!
