Welcome to the Tigers - Connor Menadue

Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Spoke with him last week at the MRC. Quietly confident kid. Seems very determined.
I've been really impressed at how he's not been at all overawed and is quite prepared to get his hands dirty despite his slight build. Seems to be thriving on it.
Reckon Subi will suit him..

Agree, he's been pushed out the way a few times but that's fine. His application to the contest has been great. I just like when he gets the ball his instinct is to break away at pace. And the high half forward suits him to learn. Great to see a genuine mid talent learning the game at the top level from a flank. He will bust a game open with a burst soon. Just so happy to see kids filling out the side.

Kid needs a nickname. Maybe something that points to the change of fortune at rfc since his drafting.

PMT - Post Menadue Tigers.

When your called Connor Menadue, you don't need a nickname.

That last name screams class doesn't it?
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

Pretty sure his nickname at the club is Dugong

When I first heard his name the first thing that came to me was 'manetee'. We call them dugongs. Dugong could be a good nickname. Has ironic value as well, ie the smooth moving and super-slim Conner is about as far from a clumsy and pudgy sea creature as you can get. :help
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

When players describe him the first thing they're saying is that he's 'confident'.

That's a great thing IMO, especially as a skinny 18yo.
 
Re: Welcome to the Tiggers - Connor Menadue

The kid has instinct hes a natural footballer.

Ive like what little ive seen of him so far, kid has the tools.

Keep playing him.
