Montoya has today been charged with a contrary conduct offence for a comment he made following a tackle on Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt.
The comment was picked up through the referee's microphone, which is audible on the live broadcast.
The matter has been referred directly to the NRL judiciary.
"Both Marcelo and the club are extremely apologetic for the offence this has caused. It was unacceptable," said George.
"Marcelo accepts responsibility and knows there's no place for such behaviour both in the game and in society generally."
George said the Warriors will make a special submission to the judiciary when it considers the charge and penalty this week.
