Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier, tireless defensive anchor

Across 16 matches, Lang has built a profile defined by consistent involvement on both sides of the ball, averaging over six carries and five tackles per game. His 426 metres from 100 carries reflects sustained ground-gaining rather than explosive bursts, while 82 tackles across the sample points to a centre who commits heavily to defensive duties. His peak outputs — 14 carries, 102 metres, and 14 tackles in a single match — show he can step up his workload significantly when the game demands it.
