Well, it goes without saying what an idiot hes been. Lets just hope its doesn't turn into the witch hunt we've seen with footballers private lives over the last couple of weeks - if the lads got issues he should be getting a helping hand from folk.

Whatever, this more or less puts a full stop to and underlines the end of Terry Newtons professional career now.

Its a sad way to go because whether he was your cup of tea or not he was a very effective player in his pomp, and I know we're talking W**an here, but you could always see the pride he had in wearing his home town shirt. You would at least have to admire him for that.

I think what the RFL community needs to do now is assess how big this problem is and address it earnestly and realistically - as Paul Cullen intimated on B'NA the cases being brought to light are, it seems, the tip of the iceberg. A sad reflection of the game or a sad reflection of society?? Chicken and egg IMHO.

Lets wait for the full facts before we crucify him my Leyther mates!

I was gonna pop on here to congratulate you on yer cracking win last weekend.
Im sure you are all pleased for us at Wakey to have started off so well!

yip well done Wakey glad your doing well, shame you signed Mr Newton .

Will wait and see what happens with Mr Newton eh?

Is it Dewsbury on Sun for you guys?

Performance enhancing or not, if its found to be a true result then he's an idiot. Watching your career go down the crapper for something you knew all along was against the rules - way to prove yourself Terry. There's plenty of kids looked up to him that will have been let down if it's true. Not to mention amateur/young players who've never been as stupid but would have loved the breaks he's had. So forgive me if I don't sympathise with the supposed cheat (or the party addict depending which type of drug it might have been). If it's true and it's worth losing his career over then he doesn't deserve the sympathy IMHO.

And as for using druggies as role models - sorry, but there's far more kids don't get involved - give every kid the information and the facts about what drugs do and re-enforce what the consequences are. If they're stupid enough to persevere after that then why give them the same breaks (or better) compared to the kids who've stayed clean? Police it properly, use the clean players as role models and make examples of the rest.

Should have been banned years ago for that "tackle" on Long

Yep, Dewsbury away

If I'm not too hungover I may have to pop along and cheer the Leythers on!

================================================================
Cant see anything about Druggies being used as role models in MY previous posts
What ive said its no use using people with no background to try and educate young people against the danger of drug use , people with drug use background can give in a lot of cases positive mentoring to young people this is not putting the person up as a ROLE MODEL#
far from it its trying to put across to the young the lessons learned from the offenders history of offences....

Yes well done Wakey, i always look for your results keep it up guys.

You name a game were he has won it for his team and I bet there 10 were he has cost them it. He was rubbish for his country in every game I saw him. If the best thing he could do was wind up the crowd then that will do for me. The game will be better without him.

Cheers Ian.

See my sig. Leigh are my NL side so I am a part time Leyther!

Nice one - but don't you think it would look more impressive if it was spelt correctly??

Wasn't this fella, was it??

I see Mr Dictionary Corner has been asked to name names after his 'tip of the iceberg' comment on Boots n All

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What your having a laugh are,nt you, why do you think hes played at the top level all his career one things for sure ITS NOT BECAUSE HE,S CR-P


I wish we had a player has good as him

Nice one matey hadnt noticed your sig.

Don't know what you mean?

Looks better now

Seems Newton has pleaded guilty to taking a growth hormone.

Two year ban inevitable.

Thought it looked funny at first when I typed it.

Come on you Leigh!!

Could've be worse, you could've put a sign up outside a pub with it spelt wrong?!

Oh, sorry - my mistake!!
