Description

Allan Langer’s playing legacy still looms large over the Broncos.
The clubs Inaugural halfback in 1988 would become their first premiership captain in ‘92, a title they defended in ‘93.
He’d go on to lead a team rated among the greatest club outfits ever assembled to the Super League premiership of ‘97, and in ‘98 they reigned supreme again in a reunited 20 team competition.
It’s a career so profound that Langer is immortalised in bronze with his own statue at Lang Park alongside fellow QLD champions, Lewis, Lockyer, Beetson and Meninga.
Hosted by Nine’s NRL Commentator Mathew Thompson.
