Foundation Inductees

Reg Gasnier

Who will ever forget the dazzling brilliance of Reg Gasnier—the prince of centres. A product of St George juniors he was the linchpin of the invincible sides the club fielded through the 60s. 'Gaz' played in six of the winning grand final teams of the 60s. He was a rare genius. A player with a graceful running action, wonderful acceleration, razor-sharp reflexes and wonderful safe hands. Injury forced his premature retirement at age 28 leaving the league world in shock. Gasnier was gone but not forgotten

Graeme Langlands

Graeme Langlands may have been the greatest competitor of his era. He knew no fear and drove himself mercilessly. An instant success when he joined the St George juggernaut as fullback in 1963 his trademark sidestep enthralled crowds at club, state and international levels. His courage and will were legendary exemplified when he inspired Australia to an Ashes deciding win in the third test of 1974. Responsible for so many magic moments on the field there will never be another 'Changa.'

John Raper

One of the most colourful players the game has ever seen. Johnny Raper is rated by some to be above Churchill and Messenger as the best Rugby League player ever. Raper played in eight consecutive grand final winning Saint George teams. Brilliant in attack and defence it was his knack of setting up tries for others that made his name. Raper played 33 Tests for Australia and if one game defined the man it was the famous 50–12 thrashing of Great Britain on the 1963/64 Tour described by Frank Hyde as the greatest 80 minutes of football by any one player
