I personally think this statement is very weak.

The Club can confirm that Josh McGuire has left the Wire by mutual agreement with immediate effect.
McGuire has now returned to Australia with his family. We wish Josh well in his next chapter.

No mention of the club distancing itself from the remarks, or mention of standards it upholds - nothing.

For example we could have said

Inclusivity and equality are values the club has worked hard to develop and maintain with excellent work in the community, womens' game, and PDRL. Unfortunately the RFL disciplinary committee has found Josh Maguire guilty of on-field offences on two occasions that strike right at the heart of these core values we strive to maintain. To that end it was no longer tenable for Josh Maguire to continue to represent Warrington Wolves RLFC and as such he has left the Wire by mutual agreement with immediate effect. We would like to wish him well in the future. The club will be making no further comment.

Is Pop McGuire's post still out there, not been able to view it thus far?

There was probably an agreement in place with both parties or there respective legal teams about the statement and they are usually short.

There is nothing to stop the club releasing a follow statement article about its inclusivity though.

I also naively thought that the delay was so they could get something on a replacement.

Thanks Wires71

As has been said, some outlandish allegations made there.

Indeed. I don't believe the club would act like that. Mr Maguire is just sticking up for his son I guess and is lashing out.

On the whole a very unfortunate series of events that are best put behind all parties.

Garbage accusations that the club won’t waste time responding to. Saddened also knows they’re garbage but can’t contain his veiled glee in repeating them. Pathetic. Suppose it keeps the idiot....

Interesting you take it that way, when it's clearly not worded or intended like that.

Mate I can read you like a book and not a bloody good book like Bravo Two Zero. Go and tear down a 5G mast.

No doubt all the wires players are thinking would the club hang them out to dry if something cropped up
