I really do hope that the minutes silence is given the respect it deserves. I know Terry had his critics as a player, as do all players, especially if you are a great player, as Terry Newton was. I would like to think it will be observed by everyone in the ground, but somehow I can't help feeling that it may not. Differences between clubs fans at these sad times should be put aside and the rugby league family come together. If only for a minute of your life.

Re: Terry Newton

After friday s debarcle something is sadly wrong at the jjb.And if brian noble does not then perhap Joe Lydon could ???Something has to done and SOON.Some one is responsable for this mess.Could it have anything to do with trent is leaving and one of our best players higham has been told he is goingto.BUT we are keeping Fieldon who had one game worth paying.THEN we are the ONLYteam in super league that has a player who does 10 mins.each half .So i think those issues do not helpdoes anyone have views on this matter?
Re: Terry Newton
I have every faith in the crowd on saturday, because we have something that a lot of other sports dont have RESPECT. The minutes applause came in because Football couldnt observe an occaision were you reflect on a persons life, we respect all our rugby league players although we may despise the odd one or two. I believe that the rugby league family will show the world that we respect our Terry and whatever his mistakes we forgive him and wish he was still here RIP Terry.
Re: Terry Newton
I hate the applause concept. Minutes silence for me every time

So, so very sad. I hope his passing wasn't in vain and some good can come of it in way of offering players at the end of their careers some support.
Terry must have been in an incredibly dark place and been there for a while, leading up to that tragic night.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, RIP Tez, you're missed

It is, but from the family's point of view, Open Verdict is far preferable!ancientnloyal wrote:Shame isn't it this confirmation of rumour.
Re: Terry Newton
Steroids impare judgment as do all the drugs he took but even an expert can't say for sure whether he was taking them because he felt suicidal or felt suicidal because he was taking them. Coroners get paid far too much for far too little imo, still I hope the open verdict gives some comfort to his family.
