The controversial career of fiery former Queensland Origin and Kangaroos prop Josh McGuire is almost certainly over after he was handed a 12-game suspension for using "unacceptable language" on the field in a recent Super League match.Warrington prop McGuire got a seven-match ban for a similar charge a few months back and club officials are seething about his behaviour.It is believed his latest comment was a highly offensive remark about a rival player's young relative.A polarising figure who often found himself in strife in his 14-year career with the Broncos, Cowboys and Dragons, 33-year-old McGuire moved to England this year hoping for a fresh start.But the tough prop's switch to Warrington has not been a success and the Wolves are believed to be on the verge of terminating his contract on disciplinary grounds.The tough forward missed last weekend's big Magic Weekend defeat to Hull, supposedly with a foot injury.A veteran of more than 250 top grade games, McGuire served two five-match suspensions while at the Dragons in 2021 and was fined $12,000 by the NRL and suspended for one game after breaching the game's COVID-19 biosecurity protocols for attending Paul Vaughan's infamous team barbecue.If Wolves do sack him, it is doubtful he will get another chance at a rival English club or back in the NRL.
