Cant believe there isnt a thread on him yet, just wow. Dont think i've ever seen a more perfect performance from a Winger. They might aswell get his name carved on the MOS award.

Had a great game.

Thought Deacon was great to tonight, both attack and defence

Superb, MOS this year for me

What is it, like 51 points more to beat Andy Farrells Superleague season points record???

Big plus for me with Deacon. He was excellent tonight.

Indeed he was, big props to his defence to (which has been a suspect area in the past)

Catalans earlier in the year. Paddy got 5 that night!

richards is superman!

The guy is top draw get a new contract to the man now before he gets stupid cash chucked at him off onion and the nfl

I had the absolute pleasure last week after the Warrington game to meet Pat in the hospitality lounge. He looked pretty down actually which shows that the team really take the defeats to heart. I congratulated him on his performance against wire, which was top draw and said, "Never mind Pat there is always next week" and he nodded and said "Yeah mate always next week". This guy is an absolute legendary player already for this club and a nice guy to boot. If he does not get MOS there is no justice but I know that he would trade that for a grand final win

He should be nailed on for MOS in my opinion.

Even with another year to run, IL should already be trying to tie him down to a new long term deal.

Isn't he contracted til' 2012?

He is class, best winger in the league.
Hope he gets MOS

4-5 year deal for richards please Mr L

I personally do not think a wing man should warrant MOS.

Locky for me is much more deserving.

Fantastic tonight though.

End of 2011.

Superman wears a Pat Richards watch

The best winger in superleague by a million miles and will finally get his dream team spot that should have been his for the past 3 seasons.

He's looking more and more likely to get the Man of Steel award aswell. I didn't have him as favourite a few weeks ago when the bookies made him that but his form since has been unbelievable and he's top of the pile now without question.

A freak of a player.

Absolutely tremendous tonight and for many seasons, he is definitely the MOS for this year if there is any honesty.

To say a winger souldn't win that award is plain stupid, the guy is awesome, his vision, speed and quality is there for all to see.

When he knows he will be caught he makes time for the players backing up and puts in some astounding kicks and passes. Tonight Wigan completely dismantled Hull F.C. and he was the architect.

I just don't think he and any other foreigners should be in the England team though.

Pugwash.

I remember the first time Pat Richards came over here and more importantly the first time he played at Belle Vue... Most of the Wigan fans were praying to God that he'd go home asap. I wonder how many still think that and I wonder how many would trade all the points he's scored for the points they wouldn't have scored without him!

Richards was outstanding last night and has been all season.

Pat is one of the greatest players of the SL era.

I know that there's a view that the MoS should go to a hard-grafting forward rather than a winger but Richards has been the stand-out player in SL this season. If he doesn't win the MoS it will be an absolute disgrace (though after the Roby/Barrett fiasco who knows what the idiots in the RL establishment are capable of...).

I wish I could find the thread with all the Saints fans posting a couple of years ago that Pat wasn't fit to lace the boots of the Slug, there were more gems like the Saddened! quote on there.

The reality is that every fan of every other club in SL would love to have Pat in their team.

Saddened is almost right though when he says Pat is a "myth", though the actual word he was looking for was "legend". Pat is an all-time Wigan legend who would have graced even the great sides of the early to mid 90s - I would love to have seen him at full back with Robinson and Offiah on the wings....
