Josh McGuire’s ready to finally make up for lost time and show Warrington Wolves what he’s made of.
The Australian enforcer, 33, copped a huge seven-game ban after being red carded on debut in a pre-season friendly. It certainly wasn’t how he envisaged life in the UK kicking off after his big move from NRL club St George Illawarra. But the ex-Kangaroos forward now just has one more match to chalk off before his belated Super League debut arrives at last for table-topping Wolves.
In his first interview since being suspended, World Cup winner McGuire said: “It wasn’t an ideal start was it? Luckily, the boys have been playing some really good footy. It just makes my life a little easier coming back with the group excelling at the moment. There’s some tired fellas there so it’ll be a good time to come back and hopefully take a load off a few of the others. I’m just excited to get going. I came over here to play footy.”
