Warrington Wolves forward Josh McGuire is facing another lengthy ban for "unacceptable language" after being charged following their loss to Leigh.

The 33-year-old was banned for seven games for the same charge following a pre-season game against Leythers.

McGuire was fined £1,000 having also been dismissed on that occasion and this time faces a minimum six-game ban.

The Australian, who has played just seven times for the Wire, will now face a tribunal on Tuesday.

The incident took place in Wire's 30-12 defeat on 26 May.

Elsewhere, Leigh's Ben Reynolds has received a two-game ban and £250 fine for a grade D charge of punching while his team-mate Tom Nisbet has been suspended for one game for a Grade C charge of dangerous contact.

Meanwhile, struggling Wakefield will be without Liam Hood for one game after he received a one-game penalty notice for dangerous contact while Castleford's Liam Watts received the same penalty.
