Tragic news my thoughts go out to his poor wife, kids and parents. What a terrible waste of life from somebody who still had so much to offer the game of rugby league.
Please let him be remembered for the right reasons he was a fantastic player one of the very best.
R.I.P

Whilst being one of his harshest critics for his actions he nor his family deserved this.
R.I.P Condolences to all his family.

RIP TERRY NEWTON
I'M A RHINO THROUGH & THROUGH,
BUT WOT A SAD LOSS,
THOUGHTS ARE WITH HIS WIFE & CHILDREN,
MADE A BIG MISTAKE BUT NOT WORTH THIS.
PUTS IT ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE.

Very sad news.
Thoughts to his family.
RIP

Terribly shocking and extremely sad news about Terry's death.

R.I.P Terry

RIP Tez.

A fabulous hooker who came into the game when Lowes and Cunningham were at their best and at times looked every bit as good as them. Was disappointed when he left Leeds but he was obviously going home to Wigan. Made some poor decisions but as Danny alluded to above - has he had the right, if any, support from the game? That newspaper article certainly sounded like he had been struggling.

Hope there is a minutes silence next week as IMO a minutes applause (which has been mentioned elsewhere)doesnt do justice to what is a terrible tragedy. The concern is that Saints fans will spoil it - any that do should be thrown out. This isn't about club loyalties, it's about remembering a tremendous player and giving him and his family the respect they deserve.

Unbelievable and desperately sad news

As Brian Carney said earlier
So sad that he must have been in such despair and felt there was nowhere else to turn.

A measure of his ability was that he was one of the players in recent times the Aussies have truly feared.

Thoughts go out to his family.

It is tragic news. R.I.P

Very tragic news for all who knew him. RIP Terry Newton.

RIP Terry Newton

My sincerest condolences to his friends and family, such a tragic end to a young life.

r.i.p terry you made your mistakes but will be missed by the rl fraternity

R.I.P Terry

gutted for him and his family.

Very sad news.

RIP.

Condolences to family, friends and former colleagues.

Can't believe this news....!!

R.I.P Terry

Re-watching him on Super League's Supermen is a sobering experience.

At first watch, alot of the things he kept repeating (let his family/team down etc) I wrote off as quite laughable, trite and insincere.

On second watch, you look a little deeper.

A troubled bloke. A bitter end.

I feel for his kids.

What a sad ending. RIP Terry. Thanks for '99.

r.i.p

My memory apart from 99 cup year is him trying to take on brian mcdermott in the semi final

still v.young

I still cannot get over it.

I have to admit I was never a fan of his as a rugby player, but RL is just a game and I never knew him off the pitch. He was described as a top bloke from Barrie and Tez O'Connor yesterday and I believe that was the case.

Such a sad and terrible loss. RIP Terry

RIP Terry Newton.

Shocking and sad loss and my thoughts go out to his family, wife and daughters.

Just watched SL supermen, and he was looking forward in life. Such a shame.

He seemed pretty subdued on that, when he says stuff like "I really let everyone close to me down" it has a real deeper meaning by the look of things.

the ultimate pantomine villian

but by jesus you always wished he played for your side

RIP Terry

Failure on the powers that be to support an individual who needed support.

When I was told yesterday I was genually upset tbh.
