Wests Tigers recruit Pat Richards was at it again for Wigan in the derby against St Helens, kicking arguably the greatest drop goal of all time.

Richards slotted a field goal from over 40 metres out... from the sideline.

The field goal put Wigan in front after Richards had earlier scored Wigan's opening try. The lead changed a number of times in a see-sawing game, with St Helens eventually claiming derby honours.

Richards has 14 tries and 84 goals so far in Super League for 2013.
