Quite agree.
If we had a league match at the weekend a minutes silence would I am sure definitely be observed but at the GF? Asking for trouble and I think the minutes applause would not get any better a reaction.

| Would think a minuits silence might be respected. We have to remember that he not only played for us but leeds Bradford and wakefield. large proportion of the crowd I would think would be supporters from teams he played for. As someone has already said THIS IS RUGBY LEAGUE and as followers we are very good at self policing a miniuts silence

He made a dumb decision, no way should that tarnish his legacy. I don't think of HGH when I think of Terry Newton, I think of a fierce, talented Wigan hooker who would happily give his right leg for that grand final win.

| I would be very surprised if Saints fans couldn't keep quiet for a minute's silence in the circumstances. You're bound to get the odd idiot (from St Helens, Wigan and amongst the neutrals) but I would expect a minute's silence to be well observed in the circumstances.

| This whole sorry episode does raise a serious point about people who take drugs within our game. It is quite easy to castigate said player and think of them as nothing but cheats within the sport but as this tragedy has pointed out we are dealing with a human being.
Although I agree with the punishments that are imposed I would like to know if there are any rehabilitation procedures for players who are banned and whether we as a sport try to get to the bottom of why a player will take drugs and what methods are needed to help that player through his imposed ban.
A man may take drugs and get caught but when that man, severely depressed & away from the norm of his usual career takes his own life it put things into perspective. I hope more is done so to teach players against going down this route but more is done also to stop players possibly following a similar scenario if they are caught.

Well the players union would agree with you (and so do I) but I don't think you can assume being banned was the only thing that led to this tragic event.

| We don't know exactly what happened and thus everything is conjecture, however this shows the human side to a tragic event. It is interesting to take the difference in the way that Gareth Hock has been treated and Terry. I know we are not meant to have any contact with Gareth but it loks like the club wrapped him in cotton wool while at the same time Wakefield just cancelled Terry's contract. It makes you wonder if all was done for Terry and if we as a club or the RFL comunity as a whole could or should have done any more

| purely conjecture, but maybe Wakey would not have turned their back had Terry been in his mid 20's as Gaz H is?

A brave move by the RFL. As a previous poster said at a normal league game I would have no doubts about it being perfectly observed, at the final unfortunatly I am not as sure.
I am sure the vast majority of us regardless of who we support will respect it, I just hope the idiots don't spoil it

Well if this is the case then fine.
I just hope that when people inevitably make some noise, that other idiots don't start booing and shouting at them. Shut up and ignore them. You only make it worse.
