SYDNEY (AP) Graeme Langlands, who played 45 rugby league tests for Australia, retiring as the country's most-capped player at that time, has died. He was 76.
In a statement, Langlands' faimily said he had been ''in very poor health and suffering from a number of chronic diseases.''
Langlands, a fullback or center, played 227 matches for St. George during the club's golden era in which it won 11 consecutive premierships in the top-flight competition between 1956 and 1966.
National Rugby League chief executive Todd Greenberg said Langlands was ''such a dominant player in his era'' and one of eight players listed as Australian rugby league ''immortals.''
