Graeme Langlands

Who should've won? Did the right person win or not? We'll rank James Tedesco against his contemporary fullbacks.

Is he as good as Slater and Lockyer and Graham Langlands and the like? We'll cover off DCE.

Uh, Tim wants to talk more about the Knights media coverage because he doesn't feel that there was enough talk about all the [laughs] Knights, was there, Tim?

Ah, no.

He comes up and gives 100% and is still doing the same.

We've had some great fullbacks, you know, Graham Langlands and – And Graham Eadie and players like this, you know, you go through them.

But I think just his longevity and the way he plays the game, game after game, has been unbelievable, really.

Really good

Bring that up.

Mate, I could have brought up Graham Langlands' white boots.

But I was thinking about this the other day, right? What about some of the great injuries during a grand final? We've got that data here as well.

So some of the more notable ones, obviously the great one, Sam Burgess' fractured eye socket off the first

No player appeared in all 11 grand finals, but several of the core played in a majority of those wins.

Norm Provan played in 10 of them, Johnny King in seven, Billy Smith, Graeme Langlands, Reg Gasnier, and John Raper, all four or more premierships.

The immortals that came from this group, Langlands, Gasnier, Raper, and Provan, and also into the NRL Hall of Fame, Ian Walsh and Billy Smith.

Side note, on Billy, every player I've interviewed for the Legends series that played against him or saw him has no hesitation in saying he's the best number seven that's played the game, and he had a more different and complete skill set than any other seven-two, and he was as tough as any front-rower.

Yep.

I grew up in Wollongong, Graham Langlands years ago used to be my coach.

Yeah.

And in fact, I think at one stage we may have even played against you at Bankstown Sports Club years and years ago.

He says, G'day, Mike.

I would sign John Sattler, Bob McCarthy, Graham Langlands and John Brass.

Yeah, thank you.

A mortal or two in there, Glenn.

So he wouldn't, you know, go through the team.

You know, from Graham Langlands and Gazdier and Chook Raper and others, Poppa Clay.

They have sadly passed away with time.

There are now just four surviving members from that era, that 1966 side.

Question two, and this is for our new friend Julian, who's played with us today here in the studio as one of our producers.

What colour boots did Graeme Langlands wear in the 1975 Grand Final when the Roosters won 38-0? Do you know?

Yes, they were white.

What team do you support out of interest?
