Detailed account of Josh McGuire incident including Josh Charnley reaction

Josh McGuire received a huge 12 match ban and a £1000 fine this week when he was found guilty of a Grade F charge of unacceptable language.

It was concluded that the Warrington Wolves star had said used discriminatory language towards the disabled aimed towards a member of Leigh Leopards star Josh Charnley’s family.

McGuire denied this.

A detailed account of the tribunal has been recorded by the RFL which includes a detailed account of the incident in question.

It also details how the alleged comments impacted Josh Charnley:

“Mr McGuire mouth can be seen to be moving on the footage which would indicate he is in some dialogue with Mr Charnley.

“Mr Charnley makes an instant beeline for Mr McGuire after the tackle and is visibly emotional in his actions and gesticulates towards Mr McGuire. Mr Charnley can be seen when walking backwards to his position to still have eyes towards the direction of Mr McGuire.

“Mr Charnley at the next available stoppage intimates to the touch judge that he wants to make a complaint about Mr McGuire and the Touch Judge calls the referee over to Mr Charnley who informs the referee who then puts the incident On Report.”
