Not great to say the least. Pathetic really and the club must be seething. You can't play modern day rugby if you haven't got self control. With injuries as well it even leaves us scratching our heads about the team for the first game. What a plonker!

Just been reminded why I don't get excited about new signings anymore.

Harsh imho. Things are said in heat of battle. Surely a formal warning/fine would have sufficed? We want to see the top players playing……

Interesting to see that Amone from Leigh has also been cited for the same offence.

Christ this is well over the top.

I've read two different reports. One says six games the other eight - but both say minimum

Grade F is 8+, six matches falls into Grade E category.

So, that's McGuire in the stands until sometime in April.

I'm sorry, but if we are handing out 8+ game bans for name calling, whatever its nature, then we really are losing it as both a sport and a society.

Surely, if we want to set punishments for this type of thing, then substantial fines and being sent to educational courses woukd be far more beneficial for the individuals involved, considering the offences from both players involved had no bearing on the result of the match, which, for me, is only when an actual side needs punishing, as both Wire and Leigh will be here in this instance.

There is form with this, Tony Clubb got 8 matches for abusing Savelio.

Unfortunately, we live in a very very woke country/world, and if this upsets the said woke brigade because of this, (between 2 players who will make up after anyway), we are fooked.
