Called someone a “s*****c”, which is pretty vile and derogatory, so rightfully looking at a ban, if found guilty.

It states six is in the minimum half way down the article.
It's not just swearing though in this case, he's made a derogatory remark best around a mental disability. There will always be sides who don't think its as bad as those who do, but ultimately you just can't be saying that kind of stuff as a professional 'role model'. I'm sure both the PDRL and LDRL teams at Warrington wouldn't be too keen on one of their first team players using their disability as a slur, especially when as you say, he could have just swore at the opponents instead. It probably was just a heat of the moment thing from McGuire, but he's got to be wiser.
Seven matches and £1,000 fine.
I’ve no issue with a lengthy ban for language like that in the game. Not sure what has tipped it over the edge from a minimum of six games to make it seven, mind.

Yeh, think we all expected as much tbh. Just a bit surprised that the shoulder charge is only a B given how forceful it was, turns out it's less dangerous than a fractionally late shot on a passer

Interesting that the file was called 'NEW MRP Minutes 06 March 2023 [6]. Must've been a few opinions needing editing this week.
Agreed with decisions but gutted, especially for Koni: the hit was late, it made contact with the head but in my opinion Myler deserves an oscar.
I was annoyed during the match at the shoulder charge being missed because it felt like the video ref was giving Kendall advice during the game with the length of time some calls took but that one wasn't. Having watched it again I think it was human error, nothing more. No ref = no game.

Kendal needs to be stood down this week for this mistake and who ever was the video ref also.
Everyone could see it was a shoulder charge and a penalty other than the officials, The fine and no ban I'm ok with for Walters from the RFL thats all it deserves. Saints were robbed on the night.
