Across 78 appearances Lang has built a profile defined by consistency rather than explosiveness, contributing steadily with the ball in hand while sharing a near-equal defensive workload. His tackle numbers are particularly notable — averaging over five per match with a single-game peak of 14 — pointing to a centre who commits heavily to the defensive line. While his try return is modest, the volume of carries and metres gained across more than 4600 minutes suggest a player who earns his ground through industry and involvement rather than moments of individual brilliance.
