Warrington Wolves forward Josh McGuire has made just seven appearances for the club having joined for 2023
Warrington Wolves forward Josh McGuire has been given a 12-match ban for using "unacceptable language" during last month's defeat by Leigh Leopards.
The 33-year-old had denied a Grade F charge but was found guilty by a tribunal and fined £1,000.
It is one of the longest suspensions handed out in Super League history.
The Australian was previously banned for seven games and fined £1,000 for a similar offence in a pre-season match against Leigh.
McGuire joined Warrington on a two-year deal last summer, having previously played for Brisbane Broncos, North Queensland Cowboys and St George Illawarra in the NRL, but has made just seven appearances so far.
