Not trolling here but is it just the fact that Richards plays for Wigan he cannot be entertained as the best winger playing today?? The OP stated "on recent form," now show me a winger with greater "recent form."
Here's Pat's recent form...
2005 Australian GF winner scoring 1 try in the final
2007 - Super leagues leading point scorer
2008 - Super Leagues leading point scorer
2009 - Super Leagues leading points scorer
2010 - Super Leagues leading points, try and goals scorer. Man of Steel Winner, RL Writers Player of the Year. Super League GF winner, 2010 Dream Team entry.
And just to top it off....has just been named International Winger of the Year.
Now, he may not be the most exciting winger winger in the world but with stats like above Im sure any team in the world would have Pat playing for them and I wouldn't swap him for any other winger in the world.
As a side note, Well done to Morley, who I think is well deserving his Prop of the year award......
even though he does play for Warrington
