Warrington Wolves boss Daryl Powell responds to Josh McGuire's 12-match ban

Warrington boss Daryl Powell says "disappointed" Josh McGuire is considering appealing the massive 12-match ban which has all but wiped out his season.

The controversial Aussie forward copped the huge suspension at an operational rules tribunal last night. The ex-Kangaroos star, 33, was found guilty of using "unacceptable language" in last month’s loss against Leigh and also fined £1,000. He had already been suspended for seven games for the same charge after being red carded - also against Leigh - on his Warrington debut in a pre-season friendly.

Powell addressed the media on the subject for the first time this lunchtime. Asked whether he was disappointed by the situation, he told a press conference: "I won’t comment on it. Josh has the right to appeal so it’d be unfair for me to comment on anything about that, to be honest. We’ll leave that as it is: he’s the right to appeal and we’ll let that go through its due process.”
