Peter James Wallace (born 16 October 1985 in Melbourne) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Penrith Panthers of the NRL. A Scotland international and New South Wales City and State of Origin representative halfback, he also previously played for the Brisbane Broncos club.
Wallace was born in Melbourne and moved to Blaxland, New South Wales as a baby. He attended Blaxland East Public School and began playing rugby league for Lower Mountains JRLC under-7s before moving to St Marys JRLC at the age of 12. He also some of his junior rugby league at the Carlingford Cougars.
Wallace made his NRL debut at Canberra Stadium against the Canberra Raiders in Round 17 of the 2005 season. In Round 3, 2007, against the Brisbane Broncos, Wallace kicked a 44-metre field goal in golden point, with Penrith winning 29–28.
Wallace was the subject of controversy when he was dropped to NSWRL Premier League in Round 15 of the NRL competition in 2007. Penrith coach Matthew Elliott moved Wallace to the premier league on what he claimed to be poor form. However Wallace had earned a man of the match award only two weeks before, but had a poor game the week later.
The controversy came when claims were made that Wallace was dropped due to the fact that he had signed with the Broncos, but teammate Joel Clinton, who was also Broncos bound, wasn't dropped. There were rumours from the media, that Wallace wanted out of the Penrith Panthers to go to Brisbane mid-season. Wallace denied these claims, and wanted to fulfill his contract with the Panthers, even if it was in premier league.
