Salford Red Devils back-rower Jansin Turgut returned toΒ Hull for the first time since joining the Red Devils and he says the side reallyΒ pulled together to complete aΒ memorable comeback victory at KCOM Craven Park.
On the victoryβ¦
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 β even though we were behind β we knew weβd 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 βset-for-setβ mentality then we would pull through the other side with the win.
On the momentum of the gameβ¦
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 didnβt 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 minutesβ¦
I was watching on the side-line for the final few minutes, but I was nervous for the lads but Iβm always confident that weβve got enough experience and talent throughout the squad to be able to see the game out and make the right decisions.
On the upcoming weekβ¦
Itβs up to Ian Watson but weβll recover and do some video analysis on this weekendβs game and ahead of next weekends. Weβll make sure our training is short and sharp this week focusing on ourselves and weβll be aiming up going into the St Helens game on Thursday evening.
