I hope this isnt true

[SiY]

I heard off a bloke (family friend) that he has and he was willing to bet £100 with me..:S not looking good.

I dont think that it is true. Because, they wouldn't get rid of terry, when next year they would have a really good team. And to be come a really good team they need terry there along with all the rest of the players. Terry is an awesome hooker, and i dont think there could be a player to replace him.

I don't think its a case of wanting to get rid, they can refuse for him to be released, but would his heart be in it for wigan? He's said he'll stay next year and look at offers the year after, whats everyone worrying about?

Newton out of Tri-Nations
Terry Newton has been forced to pulled out of the Great Britain Test squad.

The Wigan Warriors hooker will not represent his country in the prestigious Tri-Nations series against Australia and New Zealand at the end of the season.

Newton has cited persistent injury problems as the reason and has met Great Britain coach Brian Noble to inform him of his decision.

The Test No.9 says it was a tough call to make, but believes that common sense must prevail.

Newton – who has battled through the pain barrier for most of the summer – says that he needs uninterrupted rest and a long off-season to restore his aching body back to full health.

As he insists that he wants to be a part of Warriors' ambitious plans for next year, despite rumours linking him with a move to the Bradford Bulls.

He said: "I've had a meeting with Nobby (Brian Noble) and we've agreed that it's better if I don't take part in the Tri-Nations at the end of the year.
"I'm pretty sick about it, it's a great honour just to get the chance to play for your country, but being realistic, my withdrawal has to be the right thing to do.

"The medics here at Wigan have been patching me up for months now and I've got to get myself right."

Newton struggled during the early stages of the season with a lower back problem and for the last few weeks has been suffering from a badly bruised hip.

He was in doubt before Warriors' 24-22 win over Leeds Rhinos on Friday and revealed that only a dose of painkillers allowed him to get back on the pitch during the second half after being substituted.

He added: "I play a game, then I either struggle or can't train all week, play again and aggravate the injury I've already got.

"It's a vicious circle and I've got to break it.

"Some decent rest followed by a good, long off-season spent training will mean I'm fully fit for next year so I can be a part of Wigan's plans."

Newton played against Australia in the final of the Tri-Nations last year.

Shaun Wane's Wigan Under-18s beat Leeds Rhinos 40-28 in their penultimate league game of the season at Edge Hall Road yesterday. Hooker Thomas Coyle was the man of the match.

Wigan's South Stand has been made all-ticket for Warriors' final home Super League game of the season against St Helens on Friday. The ticket hot line number is 0870 112 2552.

Wigan Warriors' Supporters' Association will reveal their player of the year at their September meeting
in the JJB's South Stand tomorrow (7.30pm).

From this it seems that Terry wants to stay, so if he does move on then it must be the club's decision rather than his...
