Jansin Turgut | “It was a really good team performance”

by | Feb 24, 2019

Salford Red Devils back-rower Jansin Turgut returned toย Hull for the first time since joining the Red Devils and he says the side reallyย pulled together to complete aย memorable comeback victory at KCOM Craven Park.

On the victoryโ€ฆ

It was a really good team performance. There were some outstanding efforts from the lads particularly in defence and then George Griffin did a full eighty minutes. I think we knew that going into half-time โ€“ even though we were behind โ€“ we knew weโ€™d gifted them points by not completing our sets and giving them easy field position and then, ultimately, they scored on the back of that. We knew if we went out after half-time and got into a battle with them and a โ€˜set-for-setโ€™ mentality then we would pull through the other side with the win.

On the momentum of the gameโ€ฆ

I felt there was a point in the first half in which their middles had fatigued, and we had the chance to capitalise, but we didnโ€™t take that opportunity and took our foot off the gas a little bit and enabled them to get back in it which saw them take the lead. In the second-half, we did have that momentum change which we definitely felt, and we tried to make that the turning point with a couple of repeat sets on their line before we scored.

On the final few minutesโ€ฆ

I was watching on the side-line for the final few minutes, but I was nervous for the lads but Iโ€™m always confident that weโ€™ve got enough experience and talent throughout the squad to be able to see the game out and make the right decisions.

On the upcoming weekโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s up to Ian Watson but weโ€™ll recover and do some video analysis on this weekendโ€™s game and ahead of next weekends. Weโ€™ll make sure our training is short and sharp this week focusing on ourselves and weโ€™ll be aiming up going into the St Helens game on Thursday evening.
