Like many Saints Fans after what I did to Longy I was guilty of forming an opinion of him as a person due to his on field actions. Then I met him whilst out in Wigan and couldn't have wished to meet a nicer man, as many people have said he was a true gent.

Hopefully people attending the game on Saturday will show their respect to him and both our teams will serve up a treat in his honour. R.I.P Terry Newton.

RIP Tez you were my idol - condolences to the family.

Terrible news, very talented player and great career. RIP.

Utterly unbelievable - not heard them mention it on the championship programme as thought Carney was supposed to be a big mate of his, just don't know what to say. Desperately sorry for all his friends and family. He loved Wigan and was never quite the same after the new coach at the time shipped him out

Loads of people were in the Ben Johnson last night and said he was serving and seemed really happy. I can't help but wonder what's made him feel so desperate that there was no other way out. It's absolutely shocking, I honestly can't believe it. He was my favourite Wigan player all through my early teens, even when Millward got rid, I still wanted him to do well at Bradford. He was Wigan through and through and I'm gutted that he won't be able to see us play in the final on Saturday.

After watching Terry Newton on Sky the other week, I thought the kid was getting back on track and looking forward to returning after his ban. Totally shocked, and RIP, sympathy to family and friends and all of those in the sport that knew him.

RIP Terry.

Tragic news, a player I always loved in a Wigan shirt.

RIP Terry.

Simply stunned.

Thoughts are with his wife Stacey and father in law (and ex Wigan player) Keith Holden, and the rest of the family.

Was always made very welcome when watching the rugby on the big screen in 'The Wheel'.

He looked very very low on super leagues supermen, he didn't look like a man who was getting over it but defo didn't look like he could take his own life.

Very sad.

Was the same story in Th'Eckersley. Always made to feel welcome in both and so sad this has happened again to the family.

Shocking news.

RIP Terry Newton

RIP Terry from a Leeds fan who enjoyed your time at the Rhinos

A great servant to both our great clubs.

Condolences to his family and friends

RIP Terry you will be sadly missed condolences to his family

Shocked, must have took the ban from Rugby very hard

RIP Terry Newton, condolances to the family

Sad day for all those involved in RL

I am shocked and stunned at this news

RIP Terry

Tears in my eyes watching Carney then.

awful day

Beyond belief.

Cannot even start to get my head around it.

I will be waering my Newton top Saturday.

Total hero of mine, played with his heart on his sleeve and gave his all - too much sometimes.

Thoughts with his family and friends.

Come on Wigan, win it for him Saturday.

listening to carney and about the state of Terry O'Cornor, there was a lump in my throat.

I feel for Carney watching him right now. He's holding it together well.

I felt so sorry for Brian too, couldn't raise his head, he's so gutted. I'm surprised how sorry I feel for Terry; he must have been in such despair. My condolences to his friends and family. Dreadful news.

RIP Terry.... A Wigan great!!

Such a sad end to a great great Rugby League player!!

Come on boys lets do it for Tez!!

I hope your lads will wear something at OT (Black arm bands have been suggested) in remembrance of Terry.

Shocked by the news. RIP Terry.

Terrible, terrible news............there's no such thing as tribal rivalry when faced with news like this.

Might not have been everyone's cup of tea - unless of course he played for your team, when he would have been just the kind of guy you would love to be there when the going got tough - but a great player who will be missed.

RIP Tezza, and condolences to your family and friends.

R.I.P Tezz..

Completely Shocked..
