Sure is. They are actually a really really nice family.
Talented bloke, could have had a cricket career to.
He's spending a lot of time in hospital at the moment. Really difficult for little kids to deal with.

Extremely sad news that Glen Turner at age 41 has blood cancer. Thoughts are with him and his family. Hopefully Men of League and other support networks are aware of his situation.
