St. George Career
With Billy Smith who also joined St George in 1963, Langlands added new firepower to the aging Dragons champion line up. On field the pair demonstrated a magical telepathy and an intuitive understanding of each other's kicking and positional game. Later in the 60s and early 1970s St George got their best value out of Smith and Langlands when all of the stars of the long reign had gone. It was largely due to their combined class that the club remained competitive up till 1975.
Langlands played in four St George Grand final winning sides, including 1966 where he kicked seven goals to beat Balmain. He was the competition's leading point scorer in season 1971 and season 1973. He was the Dragon's top point scorer in first grade in 10 seasons between 1963 and 1975.
