39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Quote: cadoo "I can't find an appropriate thread to vent and I don't want to ruin any tribute threads.
In light of this news, I hope I don't come across as hasty, but do we need to do more for players that leave the game? Terry Newton did a very silly thing, but did he deserve banishment from the game altogether? I don't wish to sound as though I'm looking for someone to blame, but could the RFL not have worked with Terry Newton to go round clubs and discuss this issue and try to discourage any players that might have been taking it?
Leaving RL must be pretty devastating for some players. Some will take it much harder than others. Being taken out of that day-to-day environment, with your closest friends, with little employment prospects at a relatively young age must/is difficult to take. IIRC didn't Kris Radlinski admit that he suffered from depression when he retired from the game? I bet he wasn't alone.
I hope the game does more for RL players after they leave the game. There was a little bit before the Huddersfield/Saints game about Jon Wilkin setting up a programme where some of the Saints players go on work experience - voluntary - in fields that they'd be interested in when they retire. More things need to be in place to help players find a line of work for when they retire. And even on some levels, just some professional help with getting over retirement from rugby league.'"
The RFL have come out and said something about they were talking to Terry about talking to kids about the whole taking drugs thing. Sure i read that on some news site today.

| RFL and rugby in general did nothing to help this troubled young man.A washing of the hands was the order of the day.Mental health issues are a serious illness that is not just a general feeling of sadness its an imbalance within the brain that makes decisions erratic and uncomprehendible to people on the outside looking in.This lad who was one of the most passionate and skilled hookers I can remember should have had help instead of being ostracised and the "powers" should feel guilty of Terrys demise,sorry.
Had my shirt printed in club shop today and they are getting low on No. 9s.

| Sounds like quite a few people have had the Newton 9 printed on the back of the shirts.
