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.

Tedesco did the rest and Richards converted the try as the Tigers took the lead for the first time in the Easter Monday blockbuster.

Richards followed it up minutes later with a try of his own and then set up Luke Brooks with another pinpoint kick as the Tigers sealed a come-from-behind win.
