JOSH McGuire of Warrington Wolves has been suspended for 12 matches and fined £1,000 after being found guilty of a Grade F charge of unacceptable language in the Betfred Super League fixture at Leigh Leopards on May 26.
McGuire, who pleaded not guilty, has already served a seven-match suspension this season after being found guilty of a Grade F charge of unacceptable language in Warrington’s pre-season fixture against Leigh in February.
On that occasion, he was also fined £1,000, and required to undertake mandatory education.
The independent Operational Rules Tribunal was chaired by His Honour Judge John Thackray QC, with two former professional players as side members.
