*Josh McGuire (Warrington Wolves) – Grade F Unacceptable Language – Refer to Tribunal
Surprisingly the big news comes from an offence that occurred last week.
Last week Warrington Wolves star Josh McGuire was “referred for further investigation” after he was cited for “unacceptable language.”
Now it has been confirmed that McGuire could face a huge ban for this offence.
This comes after he was charged by the Match Review Panel this week with a Grade F charge.
He will be referred to a tribunal tomorrow that will determine whether he will serve a ban.
McGuire was suspended for a huge seven games after a red card in pre-season against Leigh Leopards in which he was deemed to have used unacceptable language.
Last week it was confirmed to Serious About Rugby League that the charge was dependent on evidence from Leigh Leopards as an RFL spokesperson explained:
“Leigh Leopards have until close of play tomorrow (Tuesday) to make any submissions.
“So it would be next week before it’s considered – if there is a charge and that depends on Leigh.”
