Josh McGuire Committed to Trial | Australia News

Former NRL star Josh McGuire, a two-time State of Origin player and international Samoan representative, has been committed to stand trial on horrific charges of strangling a child and common assault — both allegedly occurring at a Brisbane home on November 21. The magistrate cited visible neck markings on the child and a witness account from a video call that day, while McGuire, supported by family, pleaded not guilty. Despite his defense conceding enough evidence exists for trial, McGuire was released on bail and declined to speak as he left court. His storied rugby career, spanning over 250 games with the Broncos and North Queensland and a stint in the UK Super League, now faces a dark legal chapter.
