The Penrith Panthers are mourning the death of record-setting try-scorer Peter Langmack. Langmack died aged 73 following a lengthy battle with dementia. The utility debuted in the NSWRL with Parramatta in 1971 before making the move to Penrith ahead of the 1973 season. The then 22-year-old Langmack wrote himself into the Panthers’ history books in 1974 when he scored five tries — the first five of the match — in a narrow home win over St George. The mark still stands as a club record today.
After two more seasons at Penrith he finished his first-grade career with a second stint at the Eels. “Vale. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Panther No.95 Peter Langmack,” Penrith said on Thursday. After Langmack’s career ended, his younger brother Paul went on to become a Canterbury premiership hero in the 1980s.
