With him not being first choice at Saints I suppose this gives them a little leeway to "rest" him and make sure hes in tip top condition before putting him in, whereas because of the wedge he was on at Leeds hed have been starting with one leg hanging off. Throw in the fact he's playing under Woolf who knows him inside out and backwards then its a great move for Konnie and unless its against us he has only my best wishes to get back to the rampaging bull we know he can be.

Regan Grace has picked up a bicep injury and will miss the first month of the season, so he may find himself in the first choice backline quicker than he might have envisaged.

Will be interesting to see where he plays Friday night.

Konnie will absolutely rip it up at Saint’s and could be MoS shout…..

I have no doubt he’ll be good in attack, as he was at Leeds and throughout his career. But he’ll still make too many errors and be a liability in defence at times.
I enjoyed watching him at Leeds but think it was the right decision to let him go,

I think Saints will only be paying him a fraction of what he was on at Leeds and see him as a good value decent 3rd centre. Hopoate and Percival will certainly be first choice, although Hopoate could be moved to play elsewhere and Konrad come into the centre if they pick up injuries.

Definitely an interesting situation. Part of me wonders whether the loss of that excess weight will actually work against him, certainly in terms of blockbusting carries.

Looks lean now, his fitness has gone to another level, Are Saints are a more professional club which he needs?

Is losing mass taking away his main assets? Ie barrelling through a tired line.

Not going to help him catch or handle better

I'm still amazed Saints picked him up

What's your best guess at what he is on?

Whatever it is, it's still more than Leeds were offering.

Nope, it wasn’t.
