I could not believe it when I heard the news.
Even I as a Saints fan I am gutted for his family and friends.
RIP Terry.

Tragic news, losing one in the family so young must be devastating, but two? My heart goes out to his family and friends

Condolences to those he's left behind

RIP

Very sad, didn't like him when he played against us. But it took my breath away when I heard it on the radio. Condolences to his partner and 2 young girls.

Terry being forced to leave Wakefield was the start of a terrible year at the club. Up until that point all I ever heard were fantastic reports of his impeccable behaviour and his positivity in the dressing room. He seemed to have truly found his enthusiasm for the game once more and was 'well up for it'.

I have no doubt that my club would have been a very different place this season if Terry had still been there, but that seems insignificant compared to how different his own life would have been if things had not gone as they did.

Very much saddened by this and very much thinking of those he has left behind.

RIP Terry!

Jeez id forgotten about his sister.

God, his poor parents.

God bless all Terry's family and friends,

its a truly awful tragedy and my heart goes out to all his family.

RIP Terry

RIP Terry, you were a great player that will be missed by a lot of people.

Condolences to his family.

Just heard this on the Radio, what horrible horrible news. I'm shedding a tear as I write this.

One can't imagine what he was going through, RIP Terry, peace be with you, and with your family.

Totally shocked.

As a player, he was a man I loved to hate. Another was Shaun Edwards. If a player makes you feel something like that its because they had the ability to hurt your team, Terry Newton had that.

Id have loved to play in the same team as him.

One of the enduring images of the Super League era is his tears at a Grand Final loss. He crossed the line yes, but he wanted to win so much - and there is nothing wrong in that.

Those in our game will remember your talent Terry, not the other stuff. Your truly one of us.

God bless, hope you have some peace now. You wont be forgotten x

very tragic news,my thoughts go to his family.
RIP terry

RIP Terry

Thank You.

As a Wigan fan I loved him - similar to how Saints fans loved Longy, Warrington fans love Lee Briers, Rhinos fans with Bailey etc. To the opposition fans, Terry was a man everyone loved to hate, but for the fans of which ever club he played for they adored him.

His sheer determination, his willingness to stand up and be counted, his fearless attitude and win at all costs ethos - very much similar to Lombardiasm.

As a young player who was new to RL I looked upto the likes of Terry Newton, Terry O'Connor and Andy Farrell. I adored them and I wanted to play like them everytime I turned out for my team.

RIP Terry. Sit yourself down with the Big Guy upstairs, we'll remember you for who and what you were - a Warrior in every sense of the word.

Really sad news my thoughts are with his family R.I.P Tez.

Gutting and ... it makes no sense ...
RIP

Only just found out.

I echo the thoughts of every right minded person on here. Couldn't stand him whe he was playing against us, loved him when he was playing for GB. He was a good, good player.

Sad, sad loss, far too young to go.

Condolencies to his family and friends.

RIP Terry

Wasn't a fan of some of his on field decisions but it is truly shocking news. RIP Terry and thoughts to the family.

A day of celebration is also tinged with the sadness of this news. RIP Tez. Thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Jimmy Lowes had just ended his career with a trademark try from dummy half, and as Terry was shown crying on the big screen I turned to the wife and said "that's who we need to repalce Jimmy". I was so pleased when he did.

He was a hero to me, RIP Terry.

Terrible, Terrible news was gutted when i heard, and even more upset when i seen Carney's reaction.

Sometimes i would hate him as a player for some of his antics, but then he would put me back in my place by doing something magical, and i have never seen a player show such emotion and enthusiasm for the game, when Wigan lost seeing newton cry was one of the most moving scenes i have ever seen on a sports field.

Gutted for him, Gutted for his family but feel so sorry for his parents lost both a daughter and son what a tragedy.

I hope they have a minute silence/applause in the grand final, i for one want to show my respect for a true legend of rugby league.

R.I.P Terry Newton

Hard player, dirty at times but would always have wanted him in my side. A real warrior.

So sad, hearts goes out to his family.

RIP

It still hasn't sank in. I can't believe it. Looking back, this seems like a huge cry for help. www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/8 ... t-him.html
