Martin Lang (born 26 September 1975) is a former professional rugby league player in the National Rugby League. His position of choice was at prop. During his career he played for the Cronulla Sharks and the Penrith Panthers as well as representing for the Queensland Maroons in State of Origin. Martin Lang is the son of John Lang, under whom he played his entire top-grade career. Lang was a hard-running prop with a straight, un-swerving run when taking the ball forward. In April, 2002, Lang was knocked unconscious by a high-tackle from Petero Civoniceva. The resulting concussion, his tenth, led to calls for the prop to retire or to change his running style[1][2][3].
