The Brisbane Broncos will review rugby league legend Allan Langer's future at the club after he was charged with drink driving with an alleged blood alcohol level three times over the limit early today.
Police stopped Langer for a random breath test on South Pine Road at Everton Park, in Brisbane's north, around 1.40am on Monday, several hours after the Broncos' 48-16 loss to the Warriors.

The players didn't go drinking after Sunday's big loss.
It's believed Langer had dinner with his family after the game and was driving home to the Sunshine Coast where he lives at Pelican Waters when he was stopped for a random breath test.
As I said to Gam at the time, there were a number of holes in this lovely family-friendly scenario.
=================================
1. Langer was pulled over at 1:40am. Rather late to be finishing dinner with one's family, no?
2. He was presumably pulled over as the sole vehicle occupant (either that or he was drink-driving with his family in the car!). Why would he be heading home alone after a family dinner?
3. Whose family would let them drive home after having drinks with dinner?
===============================
Not long afterwards, while watching news on the TV, we saw video of this:
Oh yes! Unfortunately it's not on YouTube yet... talk about having a piece of PR spin unravel at lightning speed!

He did go out to dinner with his family. Then they left and he kicked on. So no biggie about him going home late. The biggie is the drink driving.
Lol fair enough I'm willing to believe he went out to dinner with his family and then decided to stay out on a Sunday night and get wasted afterwards. Funny how the PR people decided to omit that bit though!
But surely I'm not the only one who thinks it's kind of abnormal for a 43-year-old 'family man' to go out with his family for a Sunday night dinner and then go binge drinking afterwards?
