Video: Freakiest try of the year

AGELESS Tigers star Pat Richards has produced a moment of magic to set up one of the freakiest tries the NRL has seen.

The veteran winger showed incredible skill and athleticism to get a miraculous kick away while being tackled into touch and set up a try for Tigers teammate James Tedesco, against the Eels at ANZ Stadium on Monday afternoon.

Having received a cut-out pass from Tedesco, Richards tip-toed expertly down the sideline and did brilliantly to avoid stepping out before throwing the ball on to his boot — or shin — for a pinpoint kick into the Eels in-goal.
