I'm hearing rumour's that Coley tied the rope?

thats sick and unfunny a rl player has died for gods sake whatever you felt about him as player he doesnt deserve this. please get professional help

Solly, that is a terrible thing to say. Hang your head in shame.

First and foremost I would like to give my condolences to the Newton family.....

.... Now I start to think about the whole situation and all I feel is angry and frustration both towards Terry and the supposed "rugby league family"

Firstly Terry as a player, he was ones of those who we love to hate! At Wigan I hated his attitude and his arrogance (but what do all great sportsmen have?) When he pulled on the GB shirt always thought he was a great player. After the shenanigans with the Sean Long incident, he went to Bradford, where to be fair I don’t think he excelled, then moved on to what was hopefully a fresh start under a proven coach and motivator John Kear, where ultimately it was his downfall!!

Now I wonder how fickle "rugby league family" fans really are!!! As one would accept with the loss of a player people express a lot of regret and sympathy but really is that how they feel?!?!?

I refer to watching "Super league Super Men" People on this forum and this website questioned why on earth such a "drug cheat" Should be on such a programme, For me bar Kieron Cunningham, Terry Newton has been the best hook in the Super league era. For me he deserved to be on that programme on merit on reputation. Whether it is his playing ability or his drugs shame. When I watched this programme it was obvious to see his remorse and how much he regretted it! All he wanted to do was stay at the top of his game and impress his new employer, now I'm not saying what he did was right but in reality when it come to a new job how many of us try to impress our new boss by hook or crook. I work in the building trade now I'm not saying what I do is correct but when it comes to jobs I often fiddle the contractor to what suits best, no one says its right but we all know it goes on! Now for your average Joe whose working, amongst people like ourselves that seems acceptable because I'm looking after myself and as long as no one finds out where the problem? People starting to see where I'm going with this?

For me drug cheating is wrong, we know it goes on but as a professional rugby league player, for whom all he's known all is life is rugby, him trying to stay at the top of his game enabling him to bring money home for his family. He knew he was wrong, I watched the interview with Brian Carney, it was painful, as a man whose watched Terry Newton since he burst onto the scene it was all to see he wasn't the same person, Mr Carney admitted it himself and was an interview he felt uncomfortable with!! For me that was Terry’s ultimate down fall, he tried to clear his name with very deep regret but OUR great "rugby league family" that we ARE when he done his interview, people were saying they disgusted he's on such a show. Maybe your right, a drugs cheat shouldn't be there but he admitted his problems and was all to see he needed help. Instead people came on these forums insulting him to death, despite what people think, because our sport is so small I genuinely believe the players read theses forums and I think Terry's attempt to clear his name went on death ears and that was his downfall. Hand on heart I believe some shames should be ashamed (those fans are now the ones going RIP Terry) Why say that? When the man needed help where was they? When he tried to clear his name where was they?

Today I'm a dishearten Rugby league fan, for one I feel the RFL could of helped more and us as fans instead of abusing players when they know they have done wrong because untimely when have all of us not done wrong in the work place whether helping others?

Who has not sinned please cast the first stone.....


RIP TERRY NEWTON

No excuse for that Solly.

It's so sad that anyone ever reaches the stage where they feel that there's no point going on. When this happens to someone with a high profile like this, it's truly shocking.

I still like to think that no matter where our allegiances lie. RL fans are part of the same community, some may even say 'family'. So we should all support each other in these sad times.

Tragic news, heart goes out to his family.

RIP Terry

Be a man Solly and come back on here and apologise....you are probably enjoying your five minutes of infamy but what you posted is disgraceful.

Give it a rest ffs, I am just as shocked as you are, it wasn't directed at Terry Newton.

No, Solly. It was directed at a guy who plays in a team and in a town where Terry Newton was born and bred. Imagine how he and his colleagues would feel if they were to read your comments.

Never mind the bluster and self rightiousness, eat your pride and post a genuine apology.

A bit of maturity is required Solly...

R.I.P.Terry

What a stupid immature remark to make!!1 Apologise now for your own sake. I watched the interview with Brian Carney and was moved by what he had to say [even though I was never his biggest fan It takes a BIG man to admit he was wrong in front of thousands of viewers,and he went up greatly in my estimation.

R.I.P.Terry

Silly or James as we know you, grow a pair and accept you made a hugely distasteful comment.now we know we enjoy a laugh on this forum or on the terraces but sometimes you step over the mark.you aren't fit to lace any pro rugby league players boots.swallow your pride and apologise.Terry Newton was not just a rugby league player but a husband, son,brother and father and if you cant be respectful at this sad time sod off as your posts are not welcome.

[iVery sad news..

Condolences to the Newton family.
[/i

Doesnt matter who it was directed at matey, it was out of order.



My thoughts are with the Newton family at this time, R.I.P.

I'll ignore the most moronic message i've read in a long while and add my condolences, a great player who I would suspect couldn't live without what was taken from him.

RIP

What is the matter with you pal?

YOU are not any Salford supporter that I would want to know: to$$er!!

This is very tragic.

RIP Terry.

Still confused to why people are saying R.I.P

I appreaciated your showing your respects, please rewind a couple of months when you couldn't give a toss for Terry.

Shame on RFL Shame on Rugby League Community

Oh: and by the way pal: It takes a long time (looking at your amount of posts) to gain any respect or credibility, BUT you are going to have to work VERY hard indeed to build ANY credibility after crap like that.

What the hell is wrong with some people on here?

Moronic remarks from solly,then comments about a few months ago no one gave a toss about Newton,did anyone know this was going to happen NO!
F.F.S a father,brother son and husband has been in such turmoil that the only way out was to end his life,only a cold hearted sub human would not feel sympathy for his family and would not wish peace in death for Terry Newton.Hopefully no-one would EVER have to go through this situation with any member of their family

As some one who has tried to take his life (twice) i can understand Terry Newtons desperation, I am really sorry for his family as this must be a shock to them. To me doesnt matter what errors he made he was someones son, brother, dad etc. a 31yr old man took his life, it is tragic. I just hope the RFL did not wash there hands of him when banning him but tried to provide support.

My deepest condolences to all Terry's family and friends. As a fan I can only say he was one of the players you didnt like when he was opposition but you wanted in your team.

Seriously we are here offering our condolences so yes RIP is right rugby is just a game. This tragedy is v.much real life. Honestly where do some of these posters come from.

Its just hard to believe as he was on sky a few weeks ago being interviewed by Brian Carney and it seemed that he was getting his life together. Solly, i am afraid you were bang out of order. Mods PLEASE HAVE A WORD.

RIP Terry Newton. Never really liked the guy until i read his book. Like it was stated in there, he was a player opposition fans hated but would of loved him in their team! Gutted for his family and close friends. It did seem like he was getting his life back on track with running his pub and stuff, but clearly he was a troubled man. Real shame.

R.I.P
