Rugby league fans far and wide pay tribute to Peter Wallace, following his immediate retirement from the game.

Big respect for this guy. True warrior of the game. Congrats on great career @PenrithPanthers #nrl https://t.co/4xULUQMdQB

The term is thrown about freely but Peter Wallace is THE toughest bloke I have seen play football. He has proven this on numerous times playing on with an injury that would have others sidelined immediately.
Thanks for being a Panther Wal.

What a selfless act. He has always put the team first. Best of luck with your next role. You’ll leave the team in a much better place than when you found it. https://t.co/jfCZ41yMFS

Shattering news. I don't think I've ever seen a tougher player. Remarkable what Wal put himself through for the team. Selfless to the last. Go well mate. https://t.co/qafgDWIvXN

Peter Wallace is one of the toughest people I've ever seen play! Selfless, dedicated and committed to those around him. It has been an honour calling him my captain, the personification of a leader. #pantherpride
