Barley Mow Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I've just seen this from Chasing Roos: Great to see Jansin Gurgut back playing for Turkey. They played against the Australian Defence Force on Monday at the SCG before the Roosters v St George match - I think the game might have been mentioned earlier on either the international or Australian forum. A post match interview with him starts at 19:58, followed by one with Skolars' Errol Carter. Edited April 3, 2023 by Barley Mow 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super League, the competition that Turgut played in over forty times, has not ran any articles on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he an inspirational story we should be making something of, or would they be better making more of those who play week in, week out, and didn't abuse drugs?

That’s a very antiquated view, IMO. Should we be talking about International rugby league in a World Cup year and also talking about a man who’s suffered with mental health problems and has gone from being lucky to be alive let alone being anywhere near a Rugby League pitch at a point where mental health, especially amongst men, is not the taboo subject it once was (not that it’s anywhere near where it should be)? Absolutely we should. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barley Mow Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Great to see that Jansin is back in the professional game. Sounded like a decent run out for Bradford yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Harrison Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Given the numerous physical injuries he suffered, aside from the psychogical issues, it's a remarkable recovery. To get back to general good health would be quite something, but to then get to the level reqired to get back to Championship rugby is amazing. His habits cost him his Super League career & almost his life. Hope he has left all that behind & can go on to be a positive influence in the game & for others who may be going down the same road he did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
