A very sad end to a very sad story; condolences to those he leaves behind.

R.I.P Terry newton

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

Absolutely gutted............

RIP Terry..

R.I.P. Terry. Hope he will be remembered as a great rugby league player and not for the wrong reasons. Thoughts are with his family and friends. What a terrible waste of a young life.

Tragic news. Cannot begin to imagine how bad life must have got for it to come to this. RIP

RIP Terry.Pity we never saw the best of you,you would have gone down as a legend.

Saw the announcement on the national league finals today. Couldn't quite believe it.

RIP

R.I.P.Terry.Condolences to all his family.

RIP Terry

God bless you Terry R.I.P

damn... Terry!! FFS!

His rugby career "ended" in an ill-fitting manner for such an iconic figure in the game and that ban must have hit him harder than we could have guessed. He's made his mistakes and this is the biggest one yet and I hope his family and friends pull through after this tragic, shocking loss. I guess if we haven't been in that state of mind we'll never quite fathom what drives people to take their own lives so young when there's still so much to live for. Far too young to leave us, Terry



He should be remembered as a great player of the greatest game, because that's what he was. The tears at the 2003 final sum Terry Newton up. Passionate, dedicated, and a fierce competitor. And by all accounts a great bloke off the pitch too. I'm pretty sure that the RL community will show their usual fortitude and support.

God bless, Terry. RIP. Best wishes and condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Terry. Great player

RIP Terry Newton. Damn good player and such a shame his life ended the way it has done so.

very sad news, RIP

for a few years i have always thought that wakefield never had enough "fire" in the forwards. we had big forwards, but i would like to see an intmidating pack.

when we signed newton i thought that we did not want him as he was very dirty and gave away too many penalties, until i realised that he was just the type of player i had been wanting to see!!

it was a big loss to wakefield when he was guilty of the drug use.

it is a bigger loss to the community of rugby league now that we have lost him.

R.I.P. Terry

Tragic news. R.I.P. Terry Newton.

RIP terry
great player great man of the field

RIP Terry.

I was excited when I heard we'd signed him. We've been missing a proper 'hatchet man' for years and Terry was going to be just the man to ruffle a few feathers.

Shame we never got to see a full season in the red, white and blue.
