Could it be one of the reasons they brought Powell in?

I think we should be alright really, Hopkins was probably bought to replace Prekkie anyway

Taylor

Is surely enough props even for Shaun Wane. There's a lack of experience but that won't be a bigger issue than this year

Always sad when a player is forced to retire.

I wish him all the best.

Sad to see a player retire when he should be approaching his prime.

One thing that summed up his 100% commitment when playing is that he used to finish a lot of matches with a bandage round his head that was oozing blood.

A great shame !

The lad played well above his weight and 'flew below the radar'.

Seems a similar scenario to Ian Lucas. Sad news.

Gutted for Paul but he has suffered through injuries.
I wish him all the best for the future.

I think there is some formula for doing this. I also think Prescott will benefit from an insurance policy or possibly his contract will be paid-up via the club with funds from the proceeds of one. Not entirely sure how it works.

How sad that injury has forced him to retire. He was one of my favourite players even though he did drop the ball from time to time!

Good luck for the future Paul.

a lad dedicated and determined enough to battle back from injury time after time, but smart enough to listen to the surgeons who advised him to call it a day.

good luck Paul in your law career, you leave a few good memories behind .

The club will probably save about £10k a season on bandages alone.

Good luck for the future Paul, thanks for the memories!

Sad news, but wish him all the best for his future.

Sad that this has happened but pleasing that the club are looking to keep him on in some capacity.

Clearly got his head screwed on.
