All the quotes appear to be taken from his statement via his solicitors. To me it just shows how the Sun can twist stories in way that sensationalises it to suit its readership. |

| Whilst much has been said about this whole sorry episode and its effects on the club, the game as a whole and Newton's future (or lack of) in the game, little has been said as to why he did it.
When it was announced that Newton was joining Wakey there was a lot of reservations expressed on this board. He was coming off the back of an injury-ridden season, many Bulls fans were critical of his performances, his commitment and desire, McNamara was happy to let him go. John Kear showed faith in him and brought him to club and, because of that, most fans were prepared to reserve judgement.
Clearly Newton had no intentions of living of his past glories and seeing out his remaining playing days taking it easy (as some inferred). In order not to disappointment his new coach, club and fans he was prepared to take a very dangerous and foolish gamble and cheat. Fortunately, for the good of the game he was caught, but when we look back on Terry Newton's very brief time at the club we should at least feel that he had come here intending to give his all for Wakey  |

You are presuming he had never took that gamble before.
Sorry,but i dont buy it for one minute,that he did it so as not to disappoint his new coach,club and fans.IMO the only person he was interested in not disappointing was himself,by cheating.
So,i wont look back at his time at Wakefield feeling he intended to give his all for Wakey --- I will look back at his time here,as a player that would go to any lengths,including cheating,to preserve and prolong his career,purely out of self interest.
I will look back on his time here,as the player that got our club bad publicity.
I will look back on his time here,as the player that took the shine off an excellent start to the season.
I will look back at his time here,as the player that left our squad short in numbers.

What's your opinion on how the Club should react now Terry Newton has admitted his guilt via the solicitors statement? What should Trinity do to try and repair the reputation of the club, bearing in mind instead of the press, etc. talking about Trinity's great start to the season and the win over the Whinos, its just all about "Drugs cheat Newton"? Do we keep a dignified silence or do we issue a statement, condemning the use of banned substances for whatever reason - zero tolerance, etc. and do we tear up Newton's contract?

It's Terry Newton's situation and reputation not the clubs, he was the one who took a banned substance. As to his contract if he gets a 2 year ban which is likely then of course we should tear his contract up as he has made himself unavailable for work. |

That sounds about right, he's brought it on himself and i'm sure he would agree with your post. |

A very well written reflection on the 'human' aspect of this unfortunate tale. Yes it has, in a very small way, tarnished the reputation of our club, but we will rapidly recover. Newton will not recover so quickly having said goodbye to his career.
It is worth remembering that RL players are not well paid for a short career and a dangerous profession. We stand week in and week out screaming for them to run faster and hit harder and recover quicker. I don't think Terry Newton would be my type of person to be honest, I wasn't pleased he was coming to us. I do however, have enough experience of life not to sit in judgement.
The bloke cheated (to extend his career). He got caught. A fairly common human story.
