I really think if we sing this song at the Grand Final one of the lines needs to be changed if anyone has read Terry's book he really hated the line we loved you Terry you should be doing time could it be possibly changed to we loved you Terry we watched you all the time. Thoughts?

Good point...unless there's a more fitting line to replace it with, I'll sing that no probs.

The line was meant in sarcasm anyway though. I still see your point though.

How about..."since 1999"?

I know his first SL season with us was 2000 but he signed in 1999.

Thoughts?

I was thinking about this yesterday.

What about "Your light will always shine" ?

Seemed fitting to me when it came to mind, but not sure what others think?

This!

How about "you went before your time"

Why don't we just keep it simple

There's only one Terry Newton.

[size=150We love you Newton
You're Wigan's number 9
We love you Newton
You're light will always shine
We love you Newton
Best hooker in the world[/size

To keep his name going at all Wigan games this should be done after the Lockers song as a second verse.

Kind of ironic that the all ‘emotional energy’ going into this game seemed to surround Saints number 9 and now it’ll be about Wigan’s number 9.

Wigan winning for Newton could become the media focus rather than Saints winning for fat Bob.

i'm not sure we should go with that song, it's inevitable that everyone will sing different words and get confused about what the words should be.

i think something as simple as "one terry newton, there's only one terry newton......" would be the best way to go.

Yeh true I just didn't think it was appropriate to sing those lines and on a previous thread someone had said that we should sing that song thats all.

i wasn't saying it was a bad idea, just putting forward an alternative point of view

My personal thoughts are these:

Despite the fact that I didn't like the "doing time" line, hence the suggestion for the new one, IT DOESN'T MATTER !!!!!!

The main thing for me is the sentiment, which is the chanting of Terry's name.

Therefore, if some people sing the "doing time" version, others feel uneasy about that and sing this (or any other) version, that's fine.

The main bit is that we will hear WE LOVE YOU NEWTON sung by thousands, which is the sentiment that we wish to portray.

(After all, I wouldn't *really* let Locky do my wife, but it doesn't stop me singing the rest of the song out of adoration for an outstanding player)

I cringe at that Sean O'loughlin song - please scrap it.

It's awful ain't it. You look at who's singing it and I'd say 95% of em' haven't even popped their cherry let alone taken a woman down the ailse.

Is that what's known as a euphemism?

Could we not get hold if the WEP and the official website to say the new line to let majority of fans?

And I don't want curly hair either
