Yes, I’ve just been told he’s in a big silver bird on the way back to Aus.

Probably have to make an emergency stop in Italy once he starts abusing the flight attendants

I’ve just seen a post allegedly from his father Adam that’s blaming everyone but his son. Basically Charnley is a rat he denies saying anything along the lines of what was reported and the Club should have backed him up but didn't implying that his departure was engineered by the club through a lack of support.

A sorry state of affairs all round

Let's be honnest. Still nothing official. But if he has gone. I hope he sues the crap out of the rfl.
Do you really think that they were going to actually give him a fair appeal. Not a chance. It would have gone to another judge and 2 more ex players. (Likely a wigan and saints ex player) who would listen to maguire would have said. And then immediately throw it out as a fritholous appeal. (Much like we didn't appeal the first one because they would of just increased the penalty without justification) they were always going to make a example of this and nothing maguire could or would have said would have made any difference. It was always going to be given irrespective of actual facts. The only way that this would be sorted and expunged maguire is to tell the facts and his version of events to a court of law. An employment tribunal if you like. Bring charnley in to tell his side of the story. And unlike in the rfl disciplinary hearing. In both rfl disciplinary hearings. There is no actual evidence to place blame on maguire in either of the disciplinary cases. (Read the reports.) The first one. The referee thinks he heard it. (Not enough to actually conclusively say it happened) and the 2nd one. They have relied solely on charnleys account. Dispite 2 witnesses from warrington who corroborate that he only called charnley a rat. Again in the first instance. It's 50/50 at best. And the 2nd incident is more 60/40 in favour to maguire during to the corroboration of 2 players Character witnessing the incident for maguire. Nothing in anything is conclusive.
So the rfl have made a example of someone without conclusively having 100% of the facts. The guy will now probably lose his career and livelihood as a result of 1 person eirh a axe to grind against the club. And maguire has grounds to have his name restored to how it was before either instance. Especiallywith rhe lack of actualevidence that would actually be relevent in a employment tribunal.
Lastly. I don't blame him. Even if he is innocent for not appealing. Like I said. They eere never going to change their minds. No matter how much evidence maguire has to the contrary. I'd do the same thing. Booka flight home. He has been treated apaulingly and disgustingly by the rfl. Innocent until proven guilty. More like a kangaroo court. And maguire was the rfls whipping boy.
Hopefully. Maguire makes the rfl his whipping boy.

(Someone change my kind. Because unless more details are released officially. The rfl actualky release the full minutes un redacted or video evidence either in the disciplinary or maguire actually saying what charnley is alleging. Nothing in the first 2 reports leads me to the conclusion maguire Is guilty.)

Thanks for that, Boris

I’ve seen it, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree….thick as mince

And to think the club saw this player as on field leader ... Talked a good game and that was it

I think that in the interest of fairness, transparency, and rfl accountability this whole episode warrants independent review.

The big question is “Who Checks the Checkers?”

I'm sure that one or two argued (on here) that he ought to be made Captain. I can remember saying that it would be unusual to appoint someone as Captain without them having played a game for Wire. Ah well!

Sorry but that is not the case ...

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

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.

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

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?

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.

Statement from josh Maguires dad posted on the warrington wolves barmy army Facebook page.

Pretty diabolical and disgusting behaviour from not only the rfl. The coach and warrington rugby club if its even remotely true.

Legal action could be incoming to both club and governing body.

If its even remotely true. I'm ashamed to be a fan of this club. And fitzpatrick, the coaching staff and fitzpatricks backroom staff should all be sacked and moran and Middleton should start looking elsewhere for a ceo who knows what they are doing and a coaching staff who back their player given the circumstances.

No

Surely it would have to be closer to true than remotely for the whole club to have a reset? As it is Mr McGuire Senior is a moron and his son also.

Have the club blocked McGuire from doing just this?

According to Maguires father. They blocked both appeals. The pre season 1 and also the latest one.
