When he joined St George from Wollongong in 1963, Graeme Langlands had an immediate impact. Within 12 months he had won the first of four premierships and established himself as a star for New South Wales and Australia. For the next thirteen seasons he was at the forefront of the game and an acknowledged superstar by both friends and opponents. The 1974 Third Test, when he captain-coached Australia to victory and became the first man to score over 100 points in Ashes football was a milestone for the game as much as himself.
New South Wales Rugby League respects and honours the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on.
