As Brian Carney said earlier
So sad that he must have been in such despair and felt there was nowhere else to turn.

A measure of his ability was that he was one of the players in recent times the Aussies have truly feared.

Thoughts go out to his family.

the ultimate pantomine villian

but by jesus you always wished he played for your side

RIP Terry

Failure on the powers that be to support an individual who needed support.

When I was told yesterday I was genually upset tbh.

Some real horrible trolls knocking about on certain social networking sites, disgusting really!

Not sure how true that statement is. Newton strikes me as the kind of person who would have rejected or not taken up any form of help that was available.
Both Carney & McDermott said they'd tried to help him but obviously he kept his true feelings pretty close to his chest.
I don't think blaming the RFL is appropriate to be honest.
It's just such a sad thing that anyone has to resort to something like this.

I agree it is very easy to jump to conclusion about these things and I thought the post by Vastman on the Wakefield board was excellent in summing this up - [urlhttp://viewtopic.php?f=33&t=472526&start=75[/url
