God Bless big fella, hope you smile down on us on Saturday and we bring it home for you.

Thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.

RIP Tez

Its for the likes of him and the team he played in with Dallas and Faz that im such a fan of Wigan today

He'll be missed.

RIP Terry i hope you've found peace and my condolences to your young family.

Such a tragedy, a very talented young man, not much older than me. felt it was the only way out, terrible

when i moved to Wigan in 2002 and my wife got me back into rugby league, Terry was a integral part of the side that played in the 2003 GF and 2004 CC Final and I felt the pain of those defeats as an 'adopted Wiganer' so to speak, as a born and bred Wiganer, Terry, although a really tough player, he showed how gutted he was in those games and the fans all related to that.

Though many on these boards have followed Wigan for years and years and seen many great Wigan sides, for me i have only have the memories from 2002 onwards and in Radlinski, Dallas, Carney, Lam, Newton, C. Smith, O'Conner, Cassidy & Farrell, are players that re-ignited my passion for the great game.

With that, it gutted me to hear the news about Terry

Absolutely gutted.

Great player.

Wigan through and through.

Cant help thinking if that pillock hadnt sold him to Bradford, he could still be at Wigan and playing next Saturday.

RIP our Terry.

Totally gutted and in shock.

RIP Terry and thanks for the memories. My sympathy goes out to the family.

RIP terry and condolences to his family.

RIP Tez.... Thanks for the memories, and my thoughts are with your family....

Just heard the sad news, R.I.P. and condolences to all family and fans.

That exact thought ran through my mind earlier

Tragic news we are shocked.

Me too

After reading it in his book you could feel how gutted he was about leaving Wigan.

RIP Terry......You always gave 100%. Do it for Terry on Saturday.

Not always the best behaved guy on the field but a larger than life character.

Condolences to his family.

Going to get my shirt printed tomorrow with

Newton
9
RIP

for the final.

Totally agree with you, he was never the same player after he left and especially not when he played against us, suppose the coach of the time will be as devastated as everyone else but I like thousands of others would have been happy for him to be still playing for us. Still can't believe it. Terry O'Connor just said he was speaking to him yesterday and no sign of anything being wrong. Just awful.

Newton along with Farrell and Radlinski were the players that really made me love this club and i just cant believe this news, absolutely gutted.

Maybe in the future the RFL should do something to help players who get banned because of things like this instead of pushing them away from the sport.

Condolences to his family

Like everyone, truly shocked when I heard this on Sky. Just awful that he ended up in this situation in his life.

Loved Terry as a player because he always gave his all & genuinely cared for the club. You could see he felt the way we'd feel to play for Wigan.

RIP

Rather than wearing black armbands would it be possible for the Wigan squad to all have the name Newton on their backs for the Grand Final?

Plyer identification is via their number but don't know if it's in the rules or not

Very sad news about Terry Newton, I think were all or some are too 2 quick to judge a person who makes mistakes in life, And reading martin offiah tweet makes alot of sence. mertinoffiah@ "Sad time for RL- Maybe players who have failed tests need to be supported more and helped and not just ostracised from the game" obv there was more too it than that .

thoughts are with his kids and family R.I.P Terry Newton

Im absolutely gutted.

He was my favourite player in his time at Wigan, one of my hero's due to his passion for the club.

Hopefully we can all remember him in the right way at Old Trafford.

RIP Terry.

Let's win the GF for him.

I don't mind admitting I am in tears at the moment.I knew him off the field through the work he did with the Butterflies Children's charity.He was a really decent bloke.
On the field he never took a backward step and will always be one of my favourite players.
My thought go out to all his family and freinds
RIP Terry

totally shocked by the news, tez was a brilliant bloke, thoughts with his family at these terrible times

theres only one terry newton. RIP.

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.

A Leeds fan in peace here,
I don't normally use words like shocked or stunned because I think they're over-used but I really was shocked by the news when I heard it. To think of such a tough but great player like Newton feeling he has to resort to this has really shaken me to be honest. It probably shows that despite rugby league players toughness and occasional "supermen" attributes they aren't "supermen" but normal people who have as difficult a life as anyone else. Such a waste of a life.

Fortunately, rugby league is pretty good at rallying round at moments like this so hopefully his family will receive all the support possible, but still thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

I know Wigan wasn't his most recent club and all the club's message boards will have a thread about it but he's a Wigan legend so thought I'd post it here.

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
