I don't normally use words like shocked or stunned because I think they are over-used but when I heard the news I really was shocked by it. As has been said by others such a sad waste of a life.

Fortunately rugby league is pretty good at rallying round when something like this happens, but still, thoughts and condolences to Terry's family.

Its only a few weeks ago I was browsing his book in Waterstones.

Might go back and buy it now, hoping some of the profits will find their way back to his family ( Daughters).

I'm very shocked and upset at this news.

Such a waste. This type of tragedy puts everything in perspective.
God bless you Terry.

Gutted. Always liked the guy.

RIP Terry!!

R.I.P. Terry.wont sink in that Terry's no longer with us,Thanks for the memories of your time at Leeds.
Heartfull condolences to Terry's family.
There's gonna be some great scrums in heaven

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

Whilst being one of his harshest critics for his actions he nor his family deserved this.
R.I.P Condolences to all his family.

RIP TERRY NEWTON
I'M A RHINO THROUGH & THROUGH,
BUT WOT A SAD LOSS,
THOUGHTS ARE WITH HIS WIFE & CHILDREN,
MADE A BIG MISTAKE BUT NOT WORTH THIS.
PUTS IT ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE.

Very sad news.
Thoughts to his family.
RIP

Terribly shocking and extremely sad news about Terry's death.

R.I.P Terry

RIP Tez.

A fabulous hooker who came into the game when Lowes and Cunningham were at their best and at times looked every bit as good as them. Was disappointed when he left Leeds but he was obviously going home to Wigan. Made some poor decisions but as Danny alluded to above - has he had the right, if any, support from the game? That newspaper article certainly sounded like he had been struggling.

Hope there is a minutes silence next week as IMO a minutes applause (which has been mentioned elsewhere)doesnt do justice to what is a terrible tragedy. The concern is that Saints fans will spoil it - any that do should be thrown out. This isn't about club loyalties, it's about remembering a tremendous player and giving him and his family the respect they deserve.

Unbelievable and desperately sad news

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.

It is tragic news. R.I.P

Very tragic news for all who knew him. RIP Terry Newton.
