And sent the player off, straight red. If he was unsure he would have put the incident on report as happened with the Leigh player.

From the disciplinary tribunal minutes ...

The referee’s report states the following:

In the 71st minute of the game, Warrington Wolves number 11 Ben Currie scored a try. After the try was awarded numerous players from both sides came together exchanging insults. At this point I witnessed Warrington Wolves number 13 Josh McGuire use unacceptable language relating to disability. He was then dismissed from the field.

• The Match Review Panel see no reason to disbelieve the referee.

• Mr Griffiths is clear that he says he witnesses Mr McGuire say the words

In that same report. It is also in the notes from the warrington side that at multiple times during the hearing that the referee was saying that he thinks in the evidence he was presenting. That casts doubts over the referees version of events.

If the guy is as potentially innocent as you suggest, the silence from his employers is deafening.

The evidence wouldn’t stand up in a court of law.

JM needs to pursue the RFL.

The club had little choice but to terminate his contract after the second ban.

Re the accusations about the club failing in a duty of care re injury, it’s a bit late raising that now. Smacks of sour grapes.

He's gone now so it doesn't matter anymore, bad signing, now concentrate on finally getting replacement. Can't see one coming in this year though.

Livett training with us apparently.

Hopefully earmarked for 13, i think he'd be a really good 13

Re: McGuire : Sat Jun 17, 2023 7:36 pm  

Apologies if it's already mentioned on this thread on previous pages, but McGuire is already back in Australia.

What happened to his deal with Huddersfield? Was it a trial or something?

Re: McGuire : Sat Jun 17, 2023 8:24 pm  

Given the reputational damage I would appeal any decision that i had used such language if I knew I hadn’t. If my livelihood depended on it I would appeal with bells on.
