Warrington boss Daryl Powell has expressed his dismay at the murky Josh McGuire saga and says the club is now redoubling efforts to find a replacement.
The controversial Aussie forward, 33, has headed home after leaving Wolves by “mutual agreement” this week. The decision came after ex-Queensland State of Origin star McGuire racked up a staggering 19 games worth of bans in just two separate instances of using unacceptable language on the field this term. World Cup winner McGuire had only arrived on a two-year deal in the autumn as part of Powell’s rebuild to try and turn Warrington into title winners. But the expensive flop played just seven games in his brief five month stint.
McGuire had a chequered disciplinary record in the NRL and, asked how disappointing the situation was and if it was always a risk signing him, Powell replied: “I don’t want to go into that too much. The water is under the bridge. It is what it is. I am disappointed it came to this.
