What more can be said other than what is already on here?
Growing up I always wanted to be a player that everyone wanted in their team but never to play against (unfortunately I got them mixed up and nobody wanted to play alongside me!!!!). His determination to win often got the better of him but that is the sort of character that made him the player he was, with out that he would have been just another up the middle hooker. Every team needs a Terry Newton, at HKR we have Ben Cockayne, at Hull Lauaki, Leeds have Bailey...etc how boring would our sport be if it was filled with players that have no character?
Sometimes the word "drugs" is seen as such a dirty word and he admitted to being a "cheat" himself, but what we need to remember is he wasn't doing heroin or other serious illegal drugs. The growth hormone he was using is not illegal other than a banned substance in sport and many players apparently use it because it is so hard to detect. Yes he cheated in his later years and his honest assessment of it (that his body needed the extra help to cope with the demands of the sport) really puts into perspective just how hard it is for players to play the game at such a high level for so long.
More to the point though I guess his personal problems off the pitch lead to this incident and to feel so low in himself to do this just makes you thankful that you dont have the worries he must have had.
Condolances to his family, friends and all that knew him personally.
R.I.P Terry.

| Quote Cheshire Tiger="Cheshire Tiger"As a player, he was a man I loved to hate. Another was Shaun Edwards. If a player makes you feel something like that its because they had the ability to hurt your team, Terry Newton had that.
Id have loved to play in the same team as him.
One of the enduring images of the Super League era is his tears at a Grand Final loss. He crossed the line yes, but he wanted to win so much - and there is nothing wrong in that.
Those in our game will remember your talent Terry, not the other stuff. Your truly one of us.
God bless, hope you have some peace now. You wont be forgotten x'"
Well said mate.
Rest in peace Terry. |

I cannot believe the sheer hypocrisy of some of the posters on this forum, who over his career have called Terry some of the most offensive names I have ever heard.
R.I.P Terry and God Bless

I suspect even they see there are more important things than sport. Pity you have to retain the pettiness. |
