So tomorrow is the deadline if McGuire is going to appeal, not sure what time the cut off is though.

Just seven days from Thursday.

We have been needing this for a few seasons.

Any opposition forwards who targets our backs need to be aware that retribution will be dished out to them too in the same game

It is a massive deterrent

total rugby league saying he is not appealing 12 game ban so what is going to happen now

I guess whether they announce anything this week depends on whether they think it would be disruptive to the build up to the cup game.

Sit out the summer & get paid.

Would hope the club make a comment about it one way or the other now it’s concluded.

McGuire may as well have appealed it if he’s adamant he didn’t say it. Even if he fails and gets a couple of games on top it’s not really going to make a difference to this season Maybe he / the club are already planning his future and there was little point wasting time with an appeal.

Sad that it’s worked out this way, as I hear he’s very good behind the scenes and has a good coaching brain on him.

The sooner we put this saga behind us the better, and it will free up some money to bring Sam Burgess, Ben Barba and John Hopoate out of retirement. With us being on a roll ‘n’ all…

As a matter of interest could McGuire continue in a coaching capacity with the club even if he can't play ?

I would hope not

The club have made their decision and Maguire knows this from his meeting last Thursday, there will be no announcement until the due process has concluded.

From the post on WG site I’m reading it as they now discussing a pay off before they bring out the by mutual consent line.

Yep exactly what I thought.

NDA, payout (discretionary settlement), press statement mutual consent, thanks for contribution for community, young players yada yada, back to Oz and BBQ on beach before end of month

The official statement should be that McGuire has been dismissed.

If we agree to a pay-off deal, then that money will count against this season's Salary Cap.

Abe Froman told us that after McGuire's first suspension, that he signed a document that stipulated any further indiscretions of this type would void his contract with us.

There is bound to be an unofficial golden handshake cash payment for McGuire to sort out his
immediate future I suspect.

This, with respect, is the worst of all worlds in my opinion.

The good name of Warrington Wolves RLFC has been brought into national disrepute by this player's actions twice within 3 months. He was found guilty of the offences on both occasions, and he was certainly aware of the severe consequences at the time of the second offence. I would have more tolerance if he settled matters physically with Charnley on the field than say things about his children.

Following the verdict, he needs to be dismissed immediately and for him to be disassociated with our club forthwith. I fear to the outside world looking on we look weak and vacillating. Powell coming out and having to say "It's with the CEO and agent" is a terrible look. We should have a statement from the CEO that kills this issue right away and shelters Powell and the performance team from these questions especially in a pre-match press conference. If Maguire had any grain of honour he would have left by his own accord already. This speaks volumes to the man's character.

I would be saying all this even if he[i was[/i making an unmissable contribution on the field.
