Is O'Donnell the only signing we've made?

Ellis and Westwood are both 29, they likely only have two or three years at the very top left, and i doubt Manu or Heighington will ever represent England/GB,

Heighington is better than O'Loughlin. He will get international honours.

Ablett a interntional ? Aprils fools as long gone my friend.

If Mike Bennett was a mile off the England squad then so too is Carl Ablett. A grafter with no real talent.

No. It's the only signing announced.

Then Tomkins, O'Loughlin, Heightington. And any more youngsters to burst into contention like Tomkins (I'd back Whitehead at Bradford and i'm sure there are plenty at other clubs)

Imo Ablett is a very solid player for Leeds, and one that is important. Will he move that onto the international scale? I doubt it. If Sinfield can't get in his favoured position, then I don't think Ablett will.

I think a few clubs will have an Ablett type player, at Saints we've Paul Clough, whom we rate very highly, but wouldn't particulary expect to get recognition from the international selectors.
