The controversial career of fiery former Queensland Origin and Kangaroos prop Josh McGuire is in danger of coming to an abrupt end.
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.

McGuire will face the Super League tribunal on Tuesday following derogatory comments he allegedly made towards Leigh’s Josh Charnley during a recent game.
McGuire was suspended for seven games on a similar “unacceptable language” charge earlier in the season.
The tough forward missed the 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 the Wolves do sack him, it is doubtful he will get another chance at a rival English club or back in the NRL.
