"Ecca/Sticky Ricky/Slick Rick/Bulldog" - Rover/Winger
The little bulldog is a favourite son down at the GIANTS / Wolves. Ecca big one season 2013, his 5th year at the Club. Eck is already a dual premiership player after only playing 3 seasons for the Wolves. In his first year at the club, Eck made a significant impact finishing runner-up by one vote in the Snow Medal, 4th in the B&F and was named Best First Year Player as an 18 year old. The Bulldog backed this up with Runner up B&F in the Wolves Premiership year. Eck kicked the sealing goal in 2011 Premiership win with a trademark clinical finish under pressure. Most people at the club rate Ecka as the most trusted set shot inside 50. Eric's terrier like tendancies on the footy field make him a vital player with the team, but are also showcased come Saturday nights in Manly. The young man known for the catch phrase "Getting It Done" is often found terrorising the dancefloors of the Shore Club and Shark Bar come weekend. Eric is a proven consistent performer, an amazing stat is that in his first 30 1st grade games lil Eck has appeared in the best 6 player a whopping 22 times. With Eck carrying injuries it has been a slow start to season 2014 following a post season operation. At full fitness expect a big finish after being a solid contributor in 2013.
Ekka is another local product consistently under the watchful eye of Coach Brain and father Garry as the runner for the Coach throughout his career. How long he can be rated the best footballer in his family will be tested as younger brother Greg moves through the under 19s.
