Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier and tireless defender

Across 18 appearances Richards contributes consistently on both sides of the ball, averaging over five tackles per match alongside nearly thirty metres with the ball in hand — a balance that points to a wing who works hard in defence as well as attack. His best outings show he can step up when required, with double-figure carries and tackles recorded in single matches. That consistency across two competitions suggests a player who holds his role reliably week to week.
