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.
