Leeds Rhinos news: Super League round 1 opponents Warrington Wolves suffer major blow

The former St George-Illawarra prop, who has played Test rugby for Samoa and Australia, was found guilty of using ‘unacceptable language (disability discrimination)’ towards an opponent during Wolves’ pre-season win over Leigh Leopards.

McGuire was sent-off late in the game – which was his first appearance by Warrington – and charged with a grade F offence by the RFL’s match review panel.

A disciplinary panel on Tuesday suspended McGuire for seven games – one more than the minimum for a grade F charge – and he was also fined £1,000 and required to undertake “mandatory education”.

Leigh’s Tom Amone, who was charged with grade F use of unacceptable language in the same game, was found not guilty.
