Paul Langmack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Langmack is an Australian former rugby league coach and representative and premiership-winning player.

Langmack won three premierships as a member of the Canterbury Bulldogs in 1984, 1985 and 1988, and later played for the Western Suburbs Magpies. In 1992 he was named Rugby League Week's player of the year. In 1999 former teamate Phil Gould brought Langmack to the Sydney City club, he played one final season - a season that didn't reach any great hights, 0nly appearing in three 1st grade matches.

In 2002 he was a contender to replace Terry Lamb as the coach of the Wests Tigers and was reportedly the preferred candidate of senior players, including Terry Hill and Darren Senter. After the signing of Tim Sheens to the position, Langmack became assistant coach to Craig Coleman at the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

After Coleman was dramatically sacked immediately prior to the 2003 season, Langmack was installed as coach, but was unable to avoid the wooden spoon, winning just three games. After an unsuccessful start to the 2004 season, he was sacked and replaced by assistant Arthur Kitinas.
